#2 const char* parameter passed in Catalog::Create does not match std::string

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Car::Car( const std::string& color ) { ... }
2. catalog.Create( "ferrari_f430", "Car", "red" );

The Catalog::Create throws an exception because it cannot find a registered class with a constructor that takes a const char* parameter.

I'd like to have an automatic conversion from const char* to const std::string& (maybe using template partial specialization).

Are you sure, you need automatic conversion? It might decrease safety in case someone mixes types
