Several function templates of pair and tuple allow for too many implicit conversions, for example:

#include <tuple>
std::tuple<char*> p(0); // Error?

struct A { explicit A(int){} };
A a = 1; // Error
std::tuple<A> ta = std::make_tuple(1); // OK?

[ Resolution proposed by ballot comment ]

Consider to add wording to constrain these function templates.
