If there will be multiple cast functions some day, I think the syntax "T  
cast() {...}" would be very nice. As you said, it makes a distinction from  
ordinary functions (and operator functions) by its name, which is a  
reserved word.

(Of course, assuming that D will never have an ability to overload  
functions by their return values... ;) )
