I think that int+char is acceptable in D, but string~size_t is not
good. I think this is bug prone (especially given the expectations of
programmers coming from other languages). So I suggest to statically
disallow string~size_t. string~char, string~dchar, and string~string
are of course OK.
So far I have written no enhancement request/bug report on this
because I am not so sure...
The problem is things like:
int i;
string s = "0x" ~ ('0' + x);
since char + int --> int.
string s = "0x" ~ cast(char)('0' + x);
Problem solved.

Agreed.
I don't think it's worth violating fundamental principles for the sake
of a minor convenience in relatively uncommon situations.
Honestly, I'd like to get rid of implicit conversions altogether, but
maybe that's just me...
