This single self-contained source file should compile according to what the
standard sys about user-defined conversion operators. It doesn't.
Please see the heading comment section of the attached self-contained
source file main.cpp. I hope that it contains all info you are looking for.
John Maddock from the boost project to whom I reported the problem in a form
closer to the my actual application, and assuming that it would be caused
by boost/multiprecision classes, found the problem 'perplexing' and came
to the conclusion that it has probably not to do with multiprecision.
So, I simplified the the problem to the lowest level which is presented here.
