he compiler invokes user-defined conversion functions (which are also called conversion operators) implicitly. In most cases, this process is well-behaved and intended. However, there are cases when you certainly don’t want the compiler to invoke the conversion operator implicitly—but you can’t prevent it. Several workarounds have been devised to mitigate
