Well, a one or two line comment in its header file (implicit_cast.hpp), at 
the very least, describing what it does wouldn't be too much to ask, in my 
opinion. Since, historically, you've been the champion of fighting against 
terse documentation and ambiguous/overly technical, yet meaning nothing to 
the average Joe documentation, I think you would agree with the first 
statement.

Just my gratuitous 2 cents,
