2 conversions. Roughly twice as fast! And the code generation (using clang++ -O3) is roughly half the size: 152 assembly statements vs 335 assembly statements.
This philosophy is similar to that which we have for containers: It would be super easy to create `vector<T>::push_front(const T&)`. But that would make it too easy for programmers to write inefficient code. The compiler helps remind the programmer that perhaps `deque<T>` or `list<T>` would be a better choice when he attempts to code with `vector<T>::push_front(const T&)`.
