Woops, I typed that example too fast :)
The rest of the assignment stuff is easy. I'd prolly even do it
with a template:
this(T)(T t) { this.opAssign(t); } // for construction
Byte opAssign(T)(T t) if(T.sizeof == 1) { // for other
assignment
data_holder = cast(typeof(data_holder) t);
}
and that should do it.
This code is almost exactly what I came up with. But what about
the function problem?
void echo(Byte b);
echo('c'); // won't work
I can't figure out a way to make this work (without making echo a
template). If D supported implicit conversions from built-in
types to user types then it could work. Do you know if D might
support that later or if there's a reason for not supporting it?
