std.conv provides 'to' and 'parse', but both will throw exceptions if they fail
to convert. The only way to test if a conversion is possible is to call these
functions and catch the exception. This isn't a great situation because
throwing exceptions is not good for performance.


boolean false if the conversion failed and returns the converted value as an
out parameter. Like this:

bool tryParse(T)(string s, out T value)

An alternative API would be to return a Nullable!T
