--- Comment #10 from Jonathan M Davis <jmdavisProg at gmx.com> 2013-09-21 10:43:48 PDT ---
To completely accurate, strings do not implicitly convert to bool. Rather, in
conditions, the compiler inserts cast(bool). So, in conditions, anything which
can be explicitly cast to bool appears to be implicitly cast (when in fact it's
explicitly cast), but outside of conditions, there is not such conversion. e.g.

bool b = "foo";

will fail to compile.
