+You can, however, define your own implicit converters:

+

+.. code-block:: nimrod

+  converter toInt(x: char): int = result = ord(x)

+

+  var

+    x: int

+    chr: char = 'a'

+

+  # implicit conversion magic happens here

+  x = chr

+  echo x # => 97

+  # you can use the explicit form too

+  x = chr.toInt

+  echo x # => 97
