----
This kind conversions should be possible with std.conv.to.

import std.conv;
struct Wrap
{
    string wrap;
    alias wrap this;
}
void main()
{
    Wrap[] y = to!(Wrap[])(["foo", "bar"]);  // shold work
}

If you can construct Wrap object with the syntax Wrap("foo"), 
std.conv.to runs 'conversion by construction'.
And if S is convertible to T, std.conv.to!(T[])(S[] source) runs 
'element-wise array conversion'.
As a result, string[] to Wrap[] will be converted.

...but, this does not work in 2.060head, it is a bug.
