Who's right? As far as I can tell, the WP doesn't disallow that, but it also will never call the conversion operator automatically: A conversion operator is never used to | convert a (possibly qualified) object (or reference to an object) to | the (possibly qualified) same object type (or a reference to it), or | to a (possibly qualified) base class of that type (or a reference to | it).
