Avoiding implicit def ambiguity in Scala

Question

I am trying to create an implicit conversion from any type (say, Int) to a String...

An implicit conversion to String means RichString methods (like reverse) are not

Answer 1

The only option I see is to create a new String Wrapper class MyString and let that call whatever method you want to be called in the ambiguous case. Then you could define implicit conversions to MyString and two implicit conversions from MyString to String and RichString, just in case you need to pass it to a library function.
