Would it work to make foo(B) less tasty for implicit conversion with 
std::variant (or another small wrapper)?

```
class C
{
public:
    void foo(A a);
    /** @since ... */
    void foo(std::variant<B> b);
};
```

My assumption is that std::variant requires a "user-defined conversion" [1], 
and therefore an explicitly provided B object can be implicitly converted to a 
std::variant<B>, but the ambiguous {} can't.
