A non-explicit copy/move constructor\iref{class.copy.ctor} is
a converting constructor.
\begin{note}
An implicitly-declared copy/move constructor is not an explicit constructor;
it can be called for implicit type conversions.

This differs from other situations\iref{over.match.ctor,over.match.copy},
where only converting constructors are considered for copy-initialization.
where only non-explicit constructors are considered for copy-initialization.
This restriction only
applies if this initialization is part of the final result of overload
