Why? You can't affect what conversions do and don't work for the built-in types in _any_ language that I've ever used, and I've never heard of a language that allowed anything like that. If you want different conversion rules, you need to create a user-defined type that defines the conversions you want. That's pretty normal. And AFAIK, there aren't very many folks trying to avoid the built-in implicit conversions in D, particularly since D eliminated the various implicit narrowing conversions that you get in C/C++. - Jonathan M Davis
