Yes, but the problem you describe is arises from implicit conversion in the
other direction, which is not part of the proposal.
It's Manu's example.
Then I don't know what the proposal is. Pieces of it appear to be scattered
over numerous posts, mixed in with other text, opinions, and handwavy stuff.
There's nothing to point to that is "the proposal".
The proposal is:
Implicit conversion _to_ shared, e.g. passing it to a thread entry point, and
not implicit conversion _from_ shared (just like implicit const conversions).
That's what I was referring to, and Manu's example. It doesn't work, as I
pointed out.
I suggest you and Manu write up a proper proposal. Something that is complete,
has nothing else in it, has a rationale, illuminating examples, and explains
why alternatives are inferior.
We will eventually. This started as a "please point out any problems with this"
and has probably outlived that phase.
You'll need to address the issues raised here in the DIP.
