This code fails on the line 'int b = f;'. Is it supposed to?
I think so.
'alias this' is used to forward stuff that appears to the right of a dot
onto the named member.
Not only. Assignment of the wrapped type will also work.
In c++ to get what you are doing to work, you'd add a customer cast
operator:
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/operatoroverloading.html#Cast
but I'm not sure how the cast operator overloading works in D, I don't
know if it will try to implicitly cast and call your operator.
It does not. In WalterAndrei.pdf, opImplicitCast(To|From) is mentioned,
but it has not found its way into the language.
I feel that alias this is currently broken, but hope it will be fixed.
