In version 0.80 floating point->integer was disallowed. The reasons that triggered that disallowance in 0.80 are symmetric. A reason was: `(4,2)' might be mistyped as `(4.2)' and symmetric means: `(4.2)' might be mistyped as `(4,2)' Such typing errors are close to undetactability and known to have caused tremendous hazard. In D they can be accompanied by the usage of appropriate overloads or variadic templates. Therefore disallowing implicit conversions integer->floating point is the right way to go. Otherwise I will feel no sorry for those who get an output of "21.414" when they expected "2.049". -manfred
