[dmd-beta] 2.067.0-b2

[Rainer Schuetze via dmd-beta]

Hi,

I've tried the beta on Visual D, and it produces one error that reduces to

void main()
{
     auto sz = cast(long)null;
}

test.d(5): Error: e2ir: cannot cast null of type typeof(null) to type long

Any cast of null to an integer type seems to fail, but works in 2.066.

Is this a deliberate change?
