That's not valid code of course, but the semantics are all
contained in that single chunk.
This works:

I agree with your point as well.
A better name can help there a little.
void ConvertAndAppend(T, S)(ref T[] arr, S s) {
arr ~= s.to!T;

problem solved ;-)
btw. I never thought that I would be able (or actually..willing)

Code is something that humans write and read (and read far more
than write).
So I

I think append() could be a part of std.array but I can't find
anything like that in Phobos.
Nothing new here... I'm just reminded of how templates can help with DRY
(don't repeat yourself) code.
Here is a piece of code that uses an alias to be flexible on the element
type:
import std.conv;
alias MyType = double;// <-- Nice, MyType is used twice below
void main() {
