Why is the 'cast(AddressFamily)' needed?

W/o the cast:

t.d(5): constructor std.socket.Socket.this () does not match parameter types 
(int,SocketType,ProtocolType)
t.d(5): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (2) of type int to
AddressFamily
t.d(5): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (6) of type ProtocolType to
char[]
t.d(5): Error: cannot cast int to char[]

Thanks!

Looks like its a bug in 0.175, I've just needed to add the same casts to my 
code. It's a compiler issue rather than a lib issue, as the SocketType and 
ProtocolType are declared as enums in the same way, but don't need the cast.

I run into this issue with other code as well. I think it has to do with=
  =

different enums used by overloaded functions.

Here's a minimal test-case. I'll formalize it w/ a bug report.

void main()
{
//    foo f = new foo(cast(AddressFamily)AddressFamily.INET);
     foo f = new foo(AddressFamily.INET);
}

class foo
{
     this(AddressFamily f)
     {
     }
}

// from std.c.linux.socket
enum: int
{
         AF_INET =       2
}

// from std.c.linux.socket
struct sockaddr_in
{
         short sin_family = AF_INET;
}

// from std.socket
enum AddressFamily: int
{
         INET =       AF_INET
}
