 Hello,

 while trying to plug cpp_rational in our software, I noticed that the
 conversion from double is explicit, which complicates things quite a bit
 for me. I can't think of a reason why it needs to be explicit. The
 documentation seems to say that non-lossy conversions from builtin types
 are implicit, and converting from double to cpp_rational should be exact.
