This is already achievable with concepts: ```nim type ToInt = concept x int(x) is int proc foo(x: ToInt): int = 2 * x doAssert foo(2.Natural) == 4 ### type ToString...

Seeing as @ringabout is already working on an implementation, I'd like to consider the potential issues with a simple **positional** syntax proposed. Here's the example @ringabout left on the forum:...

If you really need positional initializers, I have a painless solution. Just define a macro which generates the converter from an anonymous tuple, maybe with just a pragma. This way...

At the moment the output format is subject to constant change so it will result in noise in the diffs, so I don't think it's suitable at the moment. If...
