This works because it causes the proxy-cast I talked about. I think.
Implicit casts are a nightmare and I wouldn't have used a proxy object if
there was any other way. I even talked to Scott Meyers about what I was
doing and he said it sounded right to him but that I was off into unexplored
territory.
