Getting back to the original topic (or trying to anyway ).. So is the documentation I provided for implicit_cast useful?
It is to me (the nagging OP). Thank you.
The usage in the example you provided is quite interesting and instructive, and completely not a usage that had occurred to me. I would guess that replacing a static_cast with a less liberal implicit_cast would be the more common use, but perhaps that is sufficiently obvious that it doesn't need an example.
The merit in my example is that it is a realistic situation where I have needed to use implicit_cast, however there is also merit in keeping things as simple as possible so an example showing a very obvious use of implicit_cast might be better. David Abrahams might well prefer it, as might I. regards Andy Little
