At the very least it would be nice to have a clean way to perform an explicit conversion rather than having to manually loop through... Ah well, I guess I'll just have to live with the idea that nothing's ever going to quite live up to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiffel_programming_language" rel="nofollow">Eiffel</a>.
