Implicit casting exists in a world where the conversion is guaranteed to be safe, because rules are defined appropriately. Explicit casting exists in a world where those guarantees are not present, because no such rules. The 2 different strategies are 2 different worlds, one is my proposal, the other is more like what we have now. They are 2 different rule-sets. You are super-attached to some presumptions, and appear to refuse to analyse the proposal from the grounds it defines.
