Indeed, yet in MyClass.test1, you do reference MyStaticClass, which is
indicated to be in the same file as B. But no matter.

   uint tmp = A.Foo;
   B result = cast(B)tmp;

gives the exact same result (and hopefully same asm) as casting directly
 from A to B.

That also means that this compiles and gives (un?)expected results:

   uint tmp = 17;
   A a = cast(A)tmp;
   B b = cast(B)a;
   assert(b != B.Foo);
   assert(b != B.Bar);
