Research direction

Start at source/classes.tex around lines 2501-2503 and read the surrounding wording for conversion functions and explicit object parameters. Confirm what the type description should say when an explicit object parameter is present; the work is done when the draft no longer incorrectly describes such functions as having no parameters.
