It works for me, but I'm curious - will compiler always
recognize what to call and I can avoid recursion and stack
overflow or I shouldn't do so?
No, not always. One out of two hundreds the compiler fails to
recognize the right call.
Jokes aside if you're not sure just use a templated function with
`auto ref` parameter.
