Hej Tejas!

Thanks for your message.  I have it working now.  Yes, Ali's book 
is
a tremendously good reference.  But, I had trouble digging out
the "magic sauce" from the pages to get this working.

I was able to find the sauce in a forum post by Adam Ruppe (his 
book is also
an excellent place for ideas and code).

With "opCast", my difficulty was the description of the type I 
wish to cast
to uses a colon ":".

Here is the line that allows it to function as desired:

**>>   T[] opCast(T : T[])(){... }**
