to!(string)(100, 19); // "55"

Thanks! Is there a way to specify a source base different than 10?

And by the way, this method does not seem to work for bases 
higher than 36, how could one achieve for example a conversion to 
a base-60?

A "source base"? the source base is always binary :)

If you want to go between base string representation, there is parse for 
going from string to binary.

 And by the way, this method does not seem to work for bases higher than
 36, how could one achieve for example a conversion to a base-60?

35 in base-36 is Z. What is 36 in base-37? At some point you run out of 
alphabet.

 If you want to go between base string representation, there is 
 parse for going from string to binary.

What I meant was for example being able to pass from console as 
an argument the number to convert lets say in hexadecimal, octal 
or binary representation.

I will check parse though, thanks.

Well.. that depends on what you accept as valid characters, 
doesn't it?
Base-64 is a good example.

Yes, use std.conv.parse:

auto binRepresentation = parse!long("1a2b", 16); // read hex

 Base-64 is a good example.

This means 'A' and 'a' have 2 different values.

I don't think a general function such as to with radix is good for this. 
You can probably do better with a custom function, I'm not sure if 
there's any base-64 libraries out there.
