Re: [boost] [conversion] implicit_cast undocumented

In future send your attachment as a patch and it will come through OK.
I am have attached 3 items including the patch  (because My last attach test 
went OK, but
unfortunately I have to keep changing settings for something else. I hope I got
it right now.( Think its got to be UUencode FWIW) If not I'll try again).

implicit_cast.qbk  and Jamfile to go in new directory
<libs/conversion/implicit_cast/>
patch is for <libs/conversion/index.html>

The jamfile BTW is just based on the Boost.Typeof  doc jamfile by Peder Holt. I
dont know too much about it, but it seems to work ok.
...
So, thanks, but it's not really sufficient.  Linking to the header is
really unacceptable, IMO.  It should link to an HTML file with a
specification of the signature of implicit cast, its requirements,
effects, etc., and preferably, an example.
There is a reasonable skeleton there I hope. Obviously you are better placed to
rewrite the text...
...
P.S. I can see that I already wrote a test for implicit_cast, so
    consider yourself lucky that I'm not asking you for one of those
    ;-)
I'll be interested as I need some expected to fail tests, and I presume there
should be some there.
...
P.P.S. I'm actually very grateful that you've done anything; I'm just
      trying to scam you into finishing the job and doing it right
      ;-)
Its ten past 2 in the morning here in the U.K, but I'm not saying that to make
feel guilty in any way  ;-)

hmm... hope the attachments dont get mangled... If they do I'll send them 
embedded in the message.

Andy Little
