Please show one or more use case.
Do you want it to be like a reinterpret cast? Currently this works:
void main() {
ushort[4] a = [1, 2, 3, 4];
uint[2] b = cast(uint[2])a;
assert(b == [131073, 262147]);
}
Mixing reinterpret cast with conversion casts is a bad design.

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=6489 --- Comment #4 from David Simcha 2011-08-27 07:34:39 PDT --- The compelling rationale is consistency. I can assign the elements of a float[] to a double[] one-by-one, so why not with array-wise operations? -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---

Is there a use case that shows it?

Of course int -> long should work, too. Same with anything where implicit conversions are allowed. It's just that double -> float is the first case I stumbled upon. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email --- You are receiving this mail because: ---
