...definition.

If you're afraid of implicit conversions, define your own type that disallows them...

what are your thoughts on implicit conversions, given your obvious experience?

To me, implicit conversion...

...a;

    void setA(uint n)
    {
        // damn implicit conversions! I just hate them!
        if(n != 4294967286...

...a;

    void setA(uint n)
    {
        // damn implicit conversions! I just hate them!
        if(n != 4294967286...

...it, where you reflexively add in your conversions without thinking about the consequences -- and you...

...the `i128` type. The arithmetic operations and conversions from/to floating-point are most likely...

...compiler will take care of wide string conversions for you here.

* I said beware because...

...that you are proposing to allow implicit conversions to shared for all classes, not only...

...conversion _from_ shared (just like implicit const conversions).

Shared disables reads and writes

 Your confusion...

...warrant changing current language rules regarding type conversions?

And here you are, continuing to presume...
