Aha.  One past experience involved a number-like class which could be
initialized by a double, and there were loads of cases where one would
not want an object of that class to be constructed by accident.

And I think another experience involved overloaded functions where the
possibility of implicit construction introduced ambiguity, but my memory
of this one is very vague.

Neither one seems to be a problem with your change, although adding
"explicit" anyway shouldn't hurt.
