Request for C++ interface doc improvement

[Jerome L Quinn]

Hi all,

I recently discovered the hard way that the mpz_class string constructor is
explicit.  Thus the following is a compile error:

string s = "0";
mpz_class a = s;

The docs didn't make this clear.  I'd like to suggest adding to the docs
something like the following:


Conversions from `string' or `char*' do not happen automatically.
Construction must be explicit.  For example,

    mpz_class a("245");


Thanks,
Jerry Quinn
