[C++-sig] implicitly_convertible and char*

Hello, The implicitly_convertible sample at http://boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/implicit.html#implicitly_convertible-spe... works fine for me. However, changing "int" to "char*" makes it stop working. Compiles fine, won't invoke at runtime.

From the traceback:

Boost.Python.ArgumentError: Python argument types in __testmodule__.test_string(X) did not match C++ signature: test_string(char *) I am using MSVC7.1 Any info?
