Description

This is borderline between an enhancement and a bug report.


import std.array: array;
import std.range: iota;
import std.conv: to;
void main() {
    auto items = iota(10);
    auto r1 = items.array.to!(string[]);
    auto r2 = items.to!(string[]);
}



DMD 2.063beta7 gives:

...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\conv.d(276): Error: template std.conv.toImpl does not match any function template declaration. Candidates are:
...\dmd2\src\phobos\std\conv.d(332):        std.conv.toImpl(T, S)(S value) if (isImplicitlyConvertible!(S, T) && !isEnumStrToStr!(S, T) && !isNullToStr!(S, T))
