Personally, I use (D1)std2.conv a lot to get values from strings and

Um... why? How is int i = 0; more difficult to use/understand than int i
= "0";
If you want to assign from a variable, then i = to!(int)x; works. It's
not that hard to do.
The issue with the compiler trying to understand what you are doing
results in ambiguities in other places. What does this mean?
int i = "1" + "2"; // i == 3 or 12?
These kinds of things are avoided, all by having a simple requirement that
you use the to!() function.
i = cast( int ) "0"; // i = 48 ( If I read the utf8 table correctly )
i = '0';
or
i = cast(int) '0';
works. Not sure of the first, but the second definitely.
