Another classic which fails to compile is: import std.random; ubyte c = uniform(0, 256); In the call uniform returns a number anywhere from 0 to and including 255, which can fit perfectly in a ubyte. But I have to use a cast (which is error-prone if I change the right interval), or use a to!ubyte call (which is verbose). Granted for simple-purpose random number generation a cast might be safe..
