if conditions and loop conditions automatically insert explicit casts, so if(foo) becomes if(cast(bool)foo) which makes it so that you can define how a user-defined type will be treated when used in a condition and for built-in types completely removes if statements and loops from discussions on implicit conversion as there's no implicit conversion being used (unless you're arguing for the cast to not be inserted for conditions, in which case, implicit conversion _would_ be used). - Jonathan M Davis
