/**

The $(D_PARAM to) family of functions converts a value from type
$(D_PARAM Source) to type $(D_PARAM Target). The source type is
deduced and the target type must be specified, for example the
expression $(D_PARAM to!int(42.0)) converts the number 42 from
$(D_PARAM double) to $(D_PARAM int). The conversion is "safe", i.e.,
it checks for overflow; $(D_PARAM to!int(4.2e10)) would throw the
$(D_PARAM ConvOverflowException) exception. Overflow checks are only
inserted when necessary, e.g., $(D_PARAM to!double(42)) does not do
any checking because any int fits in a double.

Converting a value to its own type (useful mostly for generic code)
simply returns its argument.

Example:
-------------------------
int a = 42;
auto b = to!int(a); // b is int with value 42
auto c = to!double(3.14); // c is double with value 3.14
-------------------------

Converting among numeric types is a safe way to cast them around.

Conversions from floating-point types to integral types allow loss of
precision (the fractional part of a floating-point number). The
conversion is truncating towards zero, the same way a cast would
truncate. (To round a floating point value when casting to an
integral, use $(D_PARAM roundTo).)

Examples:
-------------------------
int a = 420;
auto b = to!long(a); // same as long b = a;
auto c = to!byte(a / 10); // fine, c = 42
auto d = to!byte(a); // throw ConvOverflowException
double e = 4.2e6;
auto f = to!int(e); // f == 4200000
e = -3.14;
auto g = to!uint(e); // fails: floating-to-integral negative overflow
e = 3.14;
auto h = to!uint(e); // h = 3
e = 3.99;
h = to!uint(a); // h = 3
e = -3.99;
f = to!int(a); // f = -3
-------------------------

Conversions from integral types to floating-point types always
succeed, but might lose accuracy. The largest integers with a
predecessor representable in floating-point format are 2^24-1 for
float, 2^53-1 for double, and 2^64-1 for $(D_PARAM real) (when
$(D_PARAM real) is 80-bit, e.g. on Intel machines).

Example:
-------------------------
int a = 16_777_215; // 2^24 - 1, largest proper integer representable as float
assert(to!int(to!float(a)) == a);
assert(to!int(to!float(-a)) == -a);
a += 2;
assert(to!int(to!float(a)) == a); // fails!
-------------------------

Conversions from string to numeric types differ from the C equivalents
$(D_PARAM atoi()) and $(D_PARAM atol()) by checking for overflow and
not allowing whitespace.

For conversion of strings to signed types, the grammar recognized is:
<pre>
$(I Integer): $(I Sign UnsignedInteger)
$(I UnsignedInteger)
$(I Sign):
    $(B +)
    $(B -)
</pre>

For conversion to unsigned types, the grammar recognized is:
<pre>
$(I UnsignedInteger):
    $(I DecimalDigit)
    $(I DecimalDigit) $(I UnsignedInteger)
</pre>

Converting an array to another array type works by converting each
element in turn. Associative arrays can be converted to associative
arrays as long as keys and values can in turn be converted.

Example:
-------------------------
int[] a = [1, 2, 3];
auto b = to!(float[])(a);
assert(b == [1.0f, 2, 3]);
string str = "1 2 3 4 5 6";
auto numbers = to!(double[])(split(str));
assert(numbers == [1.0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]);
int[string] c;
c["a"] = 1;
c["b"] = 2;
auto d = to!(double[wstring])(c);
assert(d["a"w] == 1 && d["b"w] == 2);
-------------------------

Conversions operate transitively, meaning that they work on arrays and
associative arrays of any complexity:

-------------------------
int[string][double[int[]]] a;
...
auto b = to!(short[wstring][string[double[]]])(a);
-------------------------

This conversion works because $(D_PARAM to!short) applies to an
$(D_PARAM int), $(D_PARAM to!wstring) applies to a $(D_PARAM
string), $(D_PARAM to!string) applies to a $(D_PARAM double), and
$(D_PARAM to!(double[])) applies to an $(D_PARAM int[]). The
conversion might throw an exception because $(D_PARAM to!short)
might fail the range check.

emplaceRef is a package function for phobos internal use. It works like
emplace, but takes its argument by ref (as opposed to "by pointer").

This makes it easier to use, easier to be safe, and faster in a non-inline
build.

Furthermore, emplaceRef optionally takes a type paremeter, which specifies
the type we want to build. This helps to build qualified objects on mutable
buffer, without breaking the type system with unsafe casts.

Converts a hex literal to a string at compile time.

Takes a string made of hexadecimal digits and returns
the matching string by converting each pair of digits to a character.
The input string can also include white characters, which can be used
to keep the literal string readable in the source code.

The function is intended to replace the hexadecimal literal strings
starting with $(D 'x'), which could be removed to simplify the core language.

Params:
    hexData = string to be converted.

Returns:
    a $(D string), a $(D wstring) or a $(D dstring), according to the type of hexData.
