           Summary: improve implicit conversions of function
                    pointers/delegates
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: eberhardhoepfner gmx.de

class A {}
class B : A {}
B foo(const A) { return null; }
void main() {
    A function(const A)     f1 = &foo;  // compiles
    B function(A)           f2 = &foo;  // does not compile
    B function(immutable A) f3 = &foo;  // does not compile
    B function(B)           f4 = &foo;  // does not compile
}

test.d(6): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (& foo) of type B
function(const(A) _param_0) to B function(A)
test.d(7): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (& foo) of type B
function(const(A) _param_0) to B function(immutable(A))
test.d(8): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (& foo) of type B
function(const(A) _param_0) to B function(B)


These implicit conversions should be possible. Explicit casting is too
confusing and dangerous. If you make a mistake, you will end up with serious
runtime errors.
