<blockquote><p>constructors that accept only a const std::string should not be marked explicit, otherwise a constant static string (which is of type const char *) could not be passed as an argument to the constructor.</p></blockquote>
<p>Not quite. An explicit ctor on <tt>Foo</tt> would disallow conversion from <tt>std::string</tt> to <tt>Foo</tt>, not <tt>char*</tt> to <tt>std::string</tt>.</p>
