You can't get away with:

    isBoiling(Fahrenheight(212))

    cannot use 212 (type Fahrenheight) as type Celsius in argument to isBoiling

You can if

    func Fahrenheight(f int) Celsius {
      return Celsius(5*(f-32)/9)
    }

Well, sure, but I meant that in the context of:

    type (
        Celsius    float64
        Fahrenheit float64
    )
