I went to see how Boost.Variant addresses this problem. Interestingly, it doesn't.

#include

struct Wrapper { operator int () { return 9; } operator boost::variant () { return 7; } };

int main() { boost::variant v = Wrapper(); assert(boost::get<int>(v) == 7); }

This program assertion-fails on MSVC.

Okay, that's interesting. What's the process here, do we file a bug to Microsoft? Send in a defect report to the committee? Do we know the clauses in the standard that's supposed to make this "do the right thing"?
