Where can I find rules about casting. e.g. I assume casting away immutable is undefined behavior (or implementation defined behavior). What about casting to immutable (I would expect at most it only to be allowed if your type has no references e.g. ints okay but int[] not etc.) Casting const away (probably not allowed)? Casting to const (probably allowed).

Anyhow guessing aside where can I find the rules?

The cast itself allowed. Mutating the data is not.

Casting to immutable: https://dlang.org/spec/const3.html#creating_immutable_data

The cast is allowed as long as you don't mutate the data afterwards.

Conversion to const doesn't need a cast. Mutable and immutable both implicitly convert to const.
