[Nfd-dev] code style rule 44

[Junxiao Shi]

Dear folks

Implicit conversion between integer and floating point numbers can cause
problems and should be avoided.

Implicit conversion in single-argument constructor is usually undesirable.
Therefore, all single-argument constructors should be marked 'explicit',
unless implicit conversion IS desirable. In the few cases that implicit
conversion is desirable, a comment should be placed near the constructor
documenting the reason.

Yours, Junxiao
