implicit_cast<t>(S) will succeed wherever is_convertible<S,T>::value ==true
I think that would be a lie for some reasonable definitions of "succeed":
OK how about
implicit_cast<t>(S) will usually 1 succeed if boost::is_convertible<S,T>::value is true, but will always cause a compile_time error if boost::is_convertible<S,T>::value is false.
------------ [note1]
The following is one situation where implicit_cast wont succeed ^ missing apostrophe
struct foo { operator int() { throw "fooled ya"; } };
