I really like your .nx idea! It neatly sidesteps the nonsensical
mandatory casts and on top of that documents intent (the .nx being a
telltale sign of truncation -- much better than arbitrary implicit
rules). I think I'll adopt it in some form in my code, to make
dealing with narrow ints saner. I don't know what your .nx type does,
but for my purposes I'll probably just have a thin wrapper around
byte/ubyte/etc. with overloaded arithmetic operators that perform the
requisite casts.
Yeah, it's just a thin wrapper. I implemented just enough to cover my
use cases but just in case it's useful to you or someone else, here goes
my implementation...
private struct NX(T)
{

I think this would be a good Phobos addition. std.typecons?
