Thanks for the info on unchecked_conversion, 
in particular to Richard, Matthew, Charlie, and Jeff.

The way UC appeared in function definitions, 
I didnt think it was a function, instead I thought
it was some attribute so that the function would
not perform type-conversion checking. 

>From the examples provided so far, 
it seems like someone could achieve the same
result sometimes, using just the 'POS attribute
of the given type, with a little extra code of course.

Now I wonder what if it werent available?
Could we still survive without it?
Anyway, thanks for your help.

MAA
