Thanks, Ali! I'm always compiling on 64 bit systems; I'll add the
32 bit switch to my diagnostic approach now.
Oh, I see. I compile most of the code on a 32 bit system.
I asked Walter to warn d programmers against such mistakes, and
Walter closed it down. Someone else has opened the ER again...
In general, I think implicit conversions of any kind are a
misfeature, but better error messages would be enough for me
here. At least in Scala, you need to bring the conversion into
scope yourself, or have it accidentally imported...
Thanks for your help.
