Tango 0.99.3 Triller released

[Kris]

Ach!

Don't know how we managed to skip this one, but Daniel contributed an 
awesome Convert module, which exposes a to!(type)(value) interface and seems 
to convert almost anything to almost anything. It has some unique and very 
handy features, is highly extensible via struct/class methods, and is a 
really great example of how to apply both templates and CFTE. Written with 
the usual clarity and quality that Daniel is becoming known for.

Oh, and documented also ... check it out in tango.util.Convert!
