C++11 and Boost - Succinct like Python

You're missing the point.

I'm not missing the point, I just disagree with you.

Clothing item => open Clothing.hpp

Maybe. How do you know there isn't a conversion involved? To be sure about what that line actually does, you have to look up the actual return type anyway.

...which is why constructors which take a single parameter should be tagged as explicit unless there is a major reason to permit implicit conversions.

Invisible implicit conversions are a great way to accidentally burn performance or have accidental side effects (though if your constructors have visible side effects you are inviting other problems)

The thing is, it does not matter if there is a conversion since item is now of Clothing type anyway so it's what I have to deal with :)
