This is one of a series of reports of bugs found in the C++ compiler here at
warwick. We have release 1.0 of the software.

DESCRIPTION
	Implicit type conversion doesn't work.
	Nore that the below example is a cut down version of the "tiny"
	example on page 175 of the book. That also doesn't work.

EXAMPLE

	class big {
	    int b;
	public:
	    big()	{ b = 0;}
	    operator int();
	};

	big::operator int() { return(b);}

	main()
	{
	    big b;
	    int i;

	    i = b + 1;		// Oops, doesn't work (line 15)
	    i = (int)b + 1;	// But this does
	}

OUTPUT
	CC  /tmp/x.c:
	"/tmp/x.c", line 15: error: call of b; b is a big 
	1 error
