I only discovered it when I was advised to use it in a recent Phobos PR of mine. :-)
The reason I wanted to know is to check whether or not it was "safe" to use it
in library code that might conceivably be used with earlier compilers. I think
requiring 2.065+ is reasonable, but requiring 2.066 obviously is not.
Oh well, (cast(T) 1) it is then. :-(
(I think that to!T will also work with a compile time constant, but it feels a
bit dodgy to import std.conv for something like this.)
