I agree that this will cause more problems that it will solve. However, if
we rephrase your statement slightly ...

I want to be able to cast a single element to an array. What sort of syntax
(change) would that ability need and cost?

eg.
     T a, b;
     T[] foo = cast(T[])a ~ cast(T[])b;

But that is far to 'wordy' to be usable. I'd like something a lot more
simple and intuitive. Maybe a new operator so that we don't upset opCat. I
hereby propose an opJoin operator. It joins two elements to form an array. 

     T a, b;
     T[] foo = a ~~ b;
     T[] bar = foo ~~ a;
     T[] qwe = b ~~ foo;

Is there ANY way that this SORT OF thing could be made to work in D?
