While we are at it: Where can I find the discussion that resulted in
this code? I tried to search the archive but couldn't find it. It seems
really strange to me how it is done. What is wrong with:
class A
{
private:
operator int() const;
public:
operator bool() const { return ...; }
};
as it would make conversions to 'int' illegal and conversions to other
types like 'unsigned int', etc. ambiguous and it is IMHO easier to
understand for users.
