--- Comment #4 from bearophile_h...@eml.cc ---
If implicit conversions are not appreciated, then an alternative solution is to
consider hex strings as ubyte array literals:

pragma(msg, typeof(x1a b2));
==
immutable(ubyte)[]

This avoids implicit conversions. In 99% of the cases you don't want that
literal to produce a string, so this is useful.
