I don't think there are any rules as such.

Casting in D is not well specified.

Between classes you'll probably get a dynamic cast
which happens at run time and a dynamic cast can return
a null reference, so you'll get a crash if you don't guard
against it.

You can force a reinterpret cast by casting to void* and
then casting again, but you have to be careful doing that
as you are deliberately subverting type checking.
