One of the best methods to wrap a type is to use opDispatch. But there are some problems that block this. It might be good to get a bug report that gathers these together. I have one that I just ran into -- IFTI and literals. Basically, if you have a function:

void foo(short x);

you can call foo(1) no problem.

But if you *wrap* the type that contains foo, you cannot use opDispatch to implement foo(1), because IFTI treats 1 as an int. So what you get is an instantiation of opDispatch like this:

opDispatch!("foo", int)(1) Which then cannot call foo, because you cannot cast int to short.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix the above issue?

I found a solution:  http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4998

Anyone see any holes in it?

BTW, bug 5000 coming up!  Big milestone :)
