Hi! I am coming from the C++ world, is there a way to declare an implicit constructor or an implicit casting operator?

I mean, I want to publish on my API a function which takes 3 arguments and two of them can come as a Long or as an instance of an object which can be instantiated given a Long. Is there a way to avoid publishing the overloads for all posible combinations?

Generally speaking, Kotlin takes the approach that explicit is better than implicit

[Shawn]

Either you place the onus of converting that Long to whatever format it needs to be in on the caller or you publish an API that includes both signatures

I see... Thank you!!
