Implicit conversion from C++ instances to function pointers is not allowed in C++, and it can result in confusing overload resolutions if we allow it in cppyy. See: * root-project/root#20687 (comment) Corresponding ROOT commit: * root-project/root@9976d3b#diff-5c6046149708192850b028f56795eafff3a409f2eba6e02790beb0c14423844f
