  17. Hmmm...  About two years ago I suggested, in this
  18. newsgroup, that the "explicit" keyword be used
  19. by C++.  But my suggestion was for use with 
  20. conversion operators rather than constructors.
  21. If I remember correctly, the majority of people
  22. thought it  was a stupid idea.  Interesting...
