This has been discussed on the learning forum but I wanted to
bring this to a wider audience.
Apparently structs can be cast to other structs as long as
they're the same size. In my case I have a decimal struct which
is parameterized with the precision, max exponent, rounding mode,
etc.:
struct Decimal!(99,999,Rounding.HALF_EVEN)
can be cast to
struct Decimal!(16,259,Rounding.FLOOR)
without explicitly overriding the opCast function.
Timon Gehr showed an example of this for non-parameterized
structs,also.
My question is is this expected behavior? If so, does this affect
constness? Or type safety?
Using this certainly makes my life easier but is this a feature
or is it a bug that will be disallowed at some point?
