user defined implicit casts

[Tristam MacDonald]

The problem being that I can figure otu quite *what* C++ will do in a specialisation. Sometimes the specialisation will correctly inherit all the original members and sometimes not, sometimes I can replace members and sometimes not, so most of the time I must completely re-write the entire template for each specialisation (as stdc++ does in most cases).
