Implicit casting exists in a world where the conversion is guaranteed
to be safe, because rules are defined appropriately.
Explicit casting exists in a world where those guarantees are not
present, because no such rules.

The 2 different strategies are 2 different worlds, one is my proposal,
the other is more like what we have now. They are 2 different
rule-sets.
You are super-attached to some presumptions, and appear to refuse to
analyse the proposal from the grounds it defines.
