Btw, I'd be very careful using casts on hashes like that, there's no runtime
checking when you cast hashes, even if the key or value is a base class which
is casted to a derived class. For example:

-----
class A { }
class B : A { void call() { } }

void main()
{
    A[int] a;
    a[1] = new A();

    B[int] b = cast(B[int])a;  // unsafe, no exceptions thrown
    b[1].call();  // crash
}
