Minor language documentation / reference issue.
I found these flavours of cast() expressions being parsed by DMD:

cast()
cast(const)
cast(immutable)
cast(invariant)
cast(shared)
cast(shared const)
cast(const shared)
cast(wild)
cast(shared wild)
cast(wild shared)

At the moment only cast(Type) is documented here, no mention is given to the
other forms of cast:

Though even in docsrc,

cast()

is missing.

What is wild?  Can't find it in the docs.  Where did you find out about 
its existence?

That is, in parse.c, TOKwild is aliased to TOKinout, so you can't 
literally write

cast(wild) x
