I believe that the primary reasoning for allowing the implicit

between int and dchar is so that code like this
dchar c = 'a' + 7;
That's a '+' though, not a '~'.
Jonathan meant this better example ;)
string s = "hello";
s ~= 'a' + 7;
I think it shouldn't be allowed with ~ since it's misleading.
Newbies would probably expect "abc" ~ 10 to yield "abc10" rather than
the odd "abc\n".
100% agree. Requiring a cast in order to convert to dchar is a small
price to pay (not that common to do arithmetic with characters) for
avoiding surprising compilations.
