I have to disagree. I don't see a good reason for this behavior and it's just one more thing to trip people. I think it'd be better if such thing was done explicit, something like:

```d
Bar b = new Bar();
Foo* f2 = cast(Foo*)b.ptr;
```

Isn't having to write out `cast(Foo*)` already pretty explicit?
