It seems that Andrew really does want to accept them. If so value_preserving_conversion_p would be the wrong name. It seems to me he wants to accept those conversions that make it possible to retrieve the old value, i.e. when "T1 x; (T1)(T2)x == x", then T1->T2 has the to-be-named property. bits_preserving? Hmm. Ciao, Michael.
