Minor language documentation / reference issue.
I found these flavours of cast() expressions being parsed by DMD:

cast()
cast(const)
cast(immutable)
cast(invariant)
cast(shared)
cast(shared const)
cast(const shared)
cast(wild)
cast(shared wild)
cast(wild shared)

At the moment only cast(Type) is documented here, no mention is given to the other forms of cast: http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/expression.html#CastExpression

Walter actually fixed this to some extent a week or two ago, but for whatever reason the changes haven't made it to the website yet.

Though even in docsrc,

cast()

is missing.

What is wild?  Can't find it in the docs.  Where did you find out about its existence?

Stewart.

wild is a more appropriate name for inout

That is, in parse.c, TOKwild is aliased to TOKinout, so you can't literally write

cast(wild) x
