On the other hand, your first suggestion of using opCast() does seem like a reasonable choice to me. Can you provide a short code snippet using opCast to achieve the same result?
I've never used it, and particularly I know that I don't know whether making the the return type of opCast ref can lead to issues down the road and whether the template specialization is dangerous, as it will trigger for all types implicitly convertible to int* (whatever they are)
Another potential future pitfall I discovered is that code might break if you change your class into a struct.
Code example is in a gist since the system thinks I've added HTML entities to it and won't let me post it:
