It's more a limitation of the current design - if the "To" template 
parameter is a type which can not be used as a function parameter (which is 
the case here), then the implementation won't compile - we can work around 
std conforming types that fall into that category, but not compiler specific 
extensions which have strange properties!

Switching to the implementation to use the __is_convertible builtin fixes 
this issue BTW, but unfortunately causes other issue...

HTH, John.
