There are no plans to add this support to the compiler. For now, the the
necessary overloads should be added to the standard library.
Sorry if I caused confusion over the implicit casting support. That’s really
meant to handle `inout` references to variables but happens to work for
UnsafeMutablePointer->UnsafePointer.
