well, if there was implicit construction, the compiler would do 
that conversion for you, c++ style.

but yeah today you can import the other thing and do the 
conversion yourself....

I think that ought to be the goal. You'd keep the v1 stuff around 
just as a temporary bridge to give some flexibility to schedule 
that transition, but realistically, the transition is inevitable 
unless you want to lock everything (which is always an option of 
course).
