           Summary: std.conv.to doesn't know about std.encoding
           Product: D
           Version: 2.013
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: caron800@googlemail.com


The following does not work

    import std.conv;
    import std.encoding;

    string s = "hello world";
    AsciiString t = to!(AsciiString)(s);

However, it is perfectly possible to do the transoding by using std.encoding functions alone.

    import std.encoding;

    string s = "hello world";
    AsciiString t;
    transcode(s,t);

Please fix std.conv.to so that it recognises AsciiString, Latin1String and Windows1252String, and can transcode between all string types.

Invalidated by the upcoming demise of std.encoding.
