  I've never heard of this notion; I hope I didn't just miss it in the 
docs!
  The O& also doesn't require a & in front of the name of the
conversion function, you just pass the right value.  So there are at
least two cases where you *typically* don't use a &.  (Other cases in
the 1.5.2 API are probably just plain weird if they don't!)
  Changing it to avoid the extra machinery is the Right Thing; you get 
to feel good today.  ;)
