Subject: [boost] Interest in operator_cast?
From: Nick Carroll (nick.coder.42_at_[hidden])

Idea: casting function which invokes an explicitly defined cast operator on
a type if defined, else generates a compile-time error.

See
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/209793/any-way-to-cast-with-class-operator-only
for discussion of motivation and design.

Would there be any interest in incorporating this into boost/cast?
