  I'll have to take a look at this later. Note that in the application
  where I might've used a Conversion library, I now just use a
  user-provided function object to define the conversions involved, which
  works well for my purposes.
  As far as the ambiguity problem, I've tried using the following
  framework. Essentially, you want to be able to customize the behavior
  of convert_to(From&, type_tag<To>) via ADL. What you could do is first
  call convert_to0 unqualified, with the convention that this would be
  specialized in From's namespace. The default behavior is then to call
  convert_to1 unqualified, with the convention that this would be
  specialized in To's namespace. Perhaps you can rename convert_to0 and
  convert_to1 to convert_to_from and convert_to_to, or something. This
  might resolve the ambiguity issues, at least to a sufficient degree...

  Yeah, this gives priority to one namespace. I will try it?
  Thanks for the trick,
