------- Comment #12 from paolo dot carlini at oracle dot com 2009-12-10 18:17 ------- I looked again at the original DR 438, and in fact I think DR 1234 is unrelated. DR 438 is entirely about explicit vs implicit conversions: I think now that we have a problem specific to string because, at variance with the containers, we don't have an internal non-overloaded helper function to which we can pass the arguments as required in the WP, thus only the first one explicitly casted.
