The following does not work
import std.conv;
import std.encoding;
string s = "hello world";
AsciiString t = to!(AsciiString)(s);
However, it is perfectly possible to do the transoding by using std.encoding functions alone.
import std.encoding;
string s = "hello world";
AsciiString t;
transcode(s,t);
Please fix std.conv.to so that it recognises AsciiString, Latin1String and Windows1252String, and can transcode between all string types.

Invalidated by the upcoming demise of std.encoding.
