I have also counted about 38 unsorted casts that don't easily
fit in the precedent categories. They are so varied that it's
not easy to find ways to avoid them.
In my post I have not shown examples of the casts for the this
"unsorted" category. They are sometimes needed to work around
compiler bugs, like this one (the code doesn't compile if you
remove the cast):
void main() {
enum E { a, b }
int[E][E] foo =
cast()[E.a: [E.a: 1, E.b: 2],
E.b: [E.a: 3, E.b: 4]];
}

I forgot that nested AAs were even possible. I was thinking about
this yesterday and was positive that they weren't.
