I don't think so. A silent string->double conversion isn't IMO 
consistent with D's design.

"1.1".to!double.to!int works fine, and I like that you have to be 
explicit, because there is so much room for error.

Note that "1".to!double.to!int works as expected. Therefore you 
should be able to use that all the time.
