I don't think this is true. Implicit conversions are very useful. What D
prevents are implicit conversions that can result in data loss, such as
integer truncation.
I did talk about implict conversions between user defined types. D does not have
implict construction, or implict casting like C++ does.
"alias this" is used for implicit casting. BTW, it's implicit. There's an 'i'
there!
I did not talk about builtin types.
Ok - but I think it would be clearer if the statement added "for user defined
types".
