A change from the preprocessor bugs.

I think the following is valid:

     struct base
     {
     };

     struct derived : base
     {
     };

     struct convertible
     {
         operator derived() { return derived(); }
     };

     void test(base x)
     {
     }

     int main()
     {
         convertible x;
         test(x);
     }

But dmc gives the error message:

     slice.cpp(21) : Error: illegal cast
     from: derived
     to  : base
