Beman f9c562b4b4 Rework conversion.hpp: Make the UDT customization point for the value returning conversion functions much more explicit. Provide a separate UDT customization point for the in-place conversion functions, and reverse_in_place() overloads for the built-in arithmetic types. Eliminate the unsafe general-use reverse functions. With explicit customization points these are no longer needed. Complete the renaming of conversion functions started in the prior commit. The reverse and reverse_in_place names are much more meaningful and less likely to be misunderstood. The longer "reverse_in_place" name will hopefully at least slow users down before inappropriate (and possibly unsafe use, such as when trying to recover data after an exception).
