I dont know how much of this is a largely known issue, but this a problem on
C++11 compilers(such as gcc or clang) that I have seen when I was using
Boost.Assign on both C++11 compilers and MSVC. I always had to use
workarounds to get it work on C++11(which Boost.Assign was already a
workaround for MSVC).

Yes, ideally, the conversion operator should use default template parameters
to exclude initializer lists on compilers that support this. I dont know if
VS 2013 supports default template parameters for functions, or not. 

Thanks,
