Hum... the ``right'' way to write implicit_cast is:

template <typename To>
inline 
To implicit_cast (To x)
{ return x; }

Otherwise the implicit cast is down in the scope and 
with the priviledges of implicit_cast.

In other words, implicit_cast should have macro 
behaviour, not proper function behaviour.
