Yeah. Sometimes having implicit conversions is great. Other
times, it creates tons of problems. C++ allows a lot of
implicit stuff, and it becomes really easy to have unexpected
conversions going on, and it can be difficult to figure out
exactly what code is being called. For the most part, D doesn't
have any of those problems, but it arguably loses some
usability as a result.
Don't we already have implicit conversions with alias this, so
what's the deal?
struct A { int i; alias i this; }
void f(int i){}
void f(string s){}
void g(A a){ f(a); } //what's called?
