We'll C++ allows C casts for instance.  Also C++ you can static cast 
something that should be dynamic.  Also in D you can't easily cast an 
array to a pointer (although you can go array.ptr).  There are fewer 
implicit casts allowed (particularly for unsigned/signed).  See:

I think there are a couple of others but I can't remember them at the 
moment.
