this is more or less the same as the class conversion rules

conversion towards Object; no cast
conversion away from Object; needs cast

conversion towards built ins; no cast
conversion away from built ins; needs cast

typdefs can be considered subsets of what they typedef

For the little I've thought of it I'd have no problem with your suggested rule.
However, I still want the free down cast.
