Hmmm. I was hoping for something along the lines of opAssing_r because I'm 
hoping to use the original value of the lvalue for something.

would this work

class C
{
    static C opImplicitCastFrom(real r){...}
    C opAssign(B b){...}
}

class B {}

auto b = new B;
real r = 5;
r = b;  //opImplicitCastFrom(r).opAssign(b);
