Hello,
could the "explicit" statement applicable to user-defined
conversion operators be added to the C++ language
compiler as a GNU extension? This is a very useful feature
and there's a chance that it will be added to the standard
sooner or later...
Best regards
Piotr Wyderski

We are trying to move away from extensions, especially in C++ where they
interact weirdly with the existing semantics.
If you really really want this feature, I think you should prepare a patch
yourself (or hire someone to do it for you) and then push it as much as you can
to get it accepted into the FSF tree.
