This is valid Scala code:

object Main {
    def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
        val a: List[BigInt] = List(1, BigInt(2))
    }
}


Is it possible/meaningful to support/allow D code like this?

import std.bigint;
void main() {
    BigInt[] a = [1, BigInt(2)];
}

Bye,

Making it work would require a way to specify an implicit conversion from int to BigInt.
