I kind of feel like, if something would be confusing like this,
maybe the compiler shouldn't be making an automatic decision.
Not "just one more" match level, but just...don't match. If
there are multiple matching overloads, just error out. Don't
try to be clever and surprise people, just tell the user to be
more explicit.
That type of behavior is best left to the programmer defining the
public interface.
