I haven't looked at the implementation in depth, but if I recall correctly,
C++0x explicit conversions to bool are not quite the same as a safe-bool
conversion (explicit conversions still generally require explicit casts,
correct me if I'm wrong). Because of this, I do not believe it would be a
good idea for such a macro to automatically use explicit conversion
operators when available as it could result in user code that compiles in 03
but fails to compile in 0x.
