-A conversion function is never used to convert a (possibly cv-qualified) object
-to the (possibly cv-qualified) same object type (or a reference to it),
-to a (possibly cv-qualified) base class of that type (or a reference to it),
+\begin{note}
+A conversion function is never invoked for
+implicit or explicit conversions of an object
+to the same object type (or a reference to it),
+to a base class of that type (or a reference to it),
 or to \cv{}~\keyword{void}.
-\begin{footnote}
-These conversions are considered
-as standard conversions for the purposes of overload resolution\iref{over.best.ics,over.ics.ref} and therefore initialization\iref{dcl.init} and explicit casts\iref{expr.static.cast}. A conversion to \keyword{void} does not invoke any conversion function\iref{expr.static.cast}.
 Even though never directly called to perform a conversion,
 such conversion functions can be declared and can potentially
 be reached through a call to a virtual conversion function in a base class.
