We already have this:

y = x.to!long; // equivalent to straight assignment / cast

This particular usage can be useful, just not in the
*automatic* sense i was meaning.
Forgot to add this; for the more automatic mode maybe add a new
tag say @autodowncast, which may add the .to!passingtype leaving
said checks without needing to throw casts in a dozen places.
Though i doubt Walter or Andrei would go for it.
