Ok ... got it:

class Foo(T)
{
T opAssign(T v) { return v; }
}

void main()
{
auto foo = new Foo!(float)();
foo = cast(Foo!(float))null; // Works
foo = null;                  // Error: Can't convert null to float
}

I'm not sure ... but I think the second assignment should work.

I absolutely think it should.  It's checking for an opAssign, finding it, 
but not falling back to the default behavior.
