By implicit I am assuming your talking about c++ here correct? I
consider that language to implement implicit conversions poorly.
Functions should opt-in implicit conversions, not opt-out.
The main case for it is writing:
T t = a;
Instead of:
T t = (t)a
That the main benefit of implicit conversion that we should be
focusing on.
