In general I've come to appreciate that there are two ways of converting an object of type A to an object of type B: ask an A instance to convert itself to a B, or ask the type B to create a new instance from an A.
And the difference between the two isn't even always that clear cut. Sometimes you'll ask type B to create a new instance from an A, and then while you're not looking type B cheats and goes and asks the A instance to do it instead ;)
Cheers, Nick.
