The cCtor takes an argument of its own type. Since there is no
reason to convert an object to its own type, the cCtor is never
involved in conversion processes.

Don't confuse cCtor and Operator= . Ctors (including cCtors)
are only used when a new instance is created (may be temporary).
In particular cCtor is used to initialize (not assign!) a newly created
instance with an instance of the same type. Operator= is only called
for existing instances.

Why is the cCtor not involved in coversion-processes like
all one-argument Ctor's?
We have explicit to avoid casting through Ctor's.
Instead of overloading operator = we could use the cCtor
in the same way and if operator = is overloaded it could
take precedence of the cCtor.

Respond to first line with the rest in mind.

Regards
