12.3.2/1 also says explicitly that conversion operators are never used
for conversion to void, so this is the only way.

12.3.2/1 says I can do this:

struct Foo
{
    operator void();
};

If I can, how can I invoke this operator? I know of only one way:

Foo bar;
bar.operator void();

I tried:

(void)bar;

MWCW didn't invoke it. I tried:

static_cast<void>(bar);

Again, MWCW didn't invoke it.

Please, could someone tell me what should be the correct behavior?
