Maybe. Hopefully. It's on the todo list. I don't know when it'll get done. 
It's on my todo list assuming that no one else gets to it first, but depending 
on when the next release is and how fast I am at getting to it (and how hard 
it is to implement - I ran into serious issues the last time that I tried to 
mess with std.conv.to), it may or may not be in by the next release.
