$mindex convert Base VecAD$$

$head Syntax$$
$codei%AD<%Base%> %y%()
%$$
$codei%AD<%Base%> %y%(%x%)
%$$

$head Purpose$$
creates a new $codei%AD<%Base%>%$$ object $icode y$$
and initializes its value as equal to $icode x$$.

$head x$$

$subhead implicit$$
There is an implicit constructor where $icode x$$ has one of the following
prototypes:
$codei%
	const %Base%&        %x%
	const VecAD<%Base%>& %x%
%$$

$subhead explicit$$
There is an explicit constructor where $icode x$$ has prototype
$codei%
	const %Type%&        %x%
%$$
for any type that has an explicit constructor of the form
$icode%Base%(%x%)%$$.

$head y$$
The target $icode y$$ has prototype
$codei%
	AD<%Base%> %y%
%$$

$head Example$$
$children%
	example/general/ad_ctor.cpp
%$$
The files $cref ad_ctor.cpp$$ contain examples and tests of these operations.
It test returns true if it succeeds and false otherwise.
