I must have gotten a bit too used to it, but I think that's quite a
basic reality imposed by the types involved... yes, that's as clear as
xyz = 4.5 only works if xyz is of some certain types.
I think the point here is that the type of the underlying data structure
passes through the various "wrappers". This definitely is not a problem
as long as it is clear to the programmer. The current examples are fine
but just not giving wide enough coverage to make this point.
A fair point.
Anyhow, an example that shows how to print the nth Fibonacci number will
be helpful. Could I impose on you to write a pull request?
Having raised the issue, I am duty bound to deliver :-) But it may take
a while. Not Deep Though type "a while", but a few days.

Is the website documentation generated from the Phobos source or is it a
separate repository? (He says giving away his green-ness at the D
community infrastructure!)
Straight from the Phobos source. For a quick edit, just go straight here:
