I mean that if conditions and loop conditions have nothing to do with implicit 
conversions, because an explicit cast is inserted for them by the compiler. 
So, if you're discussing implicit conversions, conditions really have nothing 
to do with what's being discussed - _unless_ you're arguing that if statements 
and loops should use an implicit conversion instead of inserting an explicit 
cast. The poster I was replying to was lumping in examples of if conditions 
and loop conditions with examples of implicit conversions.
