I think it is generally best to define only one operator= for a class
of the form

  T& operator = (const T&)

and then define constructors for other types:

  T (const U&)
  ...

That allows both

  T t;
  t = U ();

and

  T (U ())

to work.  If you only define specialized operator= functions, you
can't do the latter.
