Nope. It won't work. It'll probably work with the next release, but it won't 
work right now. You can use std.conv.to instead of a cost for converting 
between derived objects; you can use it to convert an object to a string using 
its toString function; and if you have a to function on your struct or class 
which converts to a primitive type, you can use that with std.conv.to. But you 
can't currently convert between two unrelated objects using std.conv.to, even 
if they have the appropriate opCasts or constructors. That should change soon, 
but for now, we're out of luck.
