I was under the impression that alias this just was shorthand for<br>
Class Foo {<br>
int x;<br>
alias x this;<br>
}<br>
Foo foo = new Foo<br>
foo = 9; // foo.x = 9<br>
Foo Foo = 9 // null.x =9;<br>

Not just. this would also work:<br>
<br>
int n = foo;<br>
// void bar( int n ) {}<br>
bar( foo );<div class="im"><br>

Also, for opCast, doesnt that only work for going from Foo to int and not<br>
the other way around?<br>

Indeed. For implicit casts to Foo, I don't know what, if anything, works.<br>
<br>
void baz( Foo f ) {}<br>
baz( 3 ); // How?<br>
<br>
Likely, there is no such functionality in D, at least for the moment.<br>
