If you want to convert between two types and you don't control the definitions 
of either, and neither of them have any functions which will convert from one 
to the (including constructors, opCast, etc.), then you're just going to have 
to write a function to do it. It's not gonig to work with std.conv.to or 
casting, but you can write such a function just like you can write any other 
function.

A convertBToA(B b) {...}

I don't think tha there's anything else that you _can_ do.
