I'd like this code to work: import std.bigint: BigInt; void main() { BigInt b = 1; if (b) int r = 10; } With an opCast(bool).

I too would very much like to see this change, bigints have improved recently (I think?) but are still too much of a second class citizen and often don't work with templates where they could for reasons like this.
