Hi group,

I have always wondered why implicit casting is disallowed even when a class has opCast defined for this cast's type? Isn't it obvious through the l-value alone? Why explicit?

Regards,
Nils

Because Walter thinks that implicit non-trivial casts are a Bad Thing (TM) (and in most cases, I'm inclined to agree).
