I've used it, because I'm lazy.

Usually something like:

int x = 0;
bool xisaninteger;
try
{
   x = to!int(args[2]);
   xisaninteger = true;
}
catch
{
}

Sure, there are better ways to do it, but I don't care when I'm writing a 
quick script.

You will break some code if you disallow it.  Personally I don't mind, but 
it's not up to me.
