Template conversion

[Labdabeta]

I have asked this question before on a different forum without success. I would like to know how to do templated type conversions for a class. The syntax is getting me though. Here is what I want:

class Thing
{
    public:
    template <typename T>
    T operator T();
}

This would allow me to cast my class to anything! Is this possible?

The syntax is:

class Thing
{
    public:
    template <typename T>
    operator T(); //notice, no return type (it is implicit for conversion operators)
}

And it certainly is possible (at least it works on GCC). I'm not sure why you would want to do that, but you can.

Thanks!
