Coming back to how C++ handles static overloading. How is the sort order of (int *), (int &), (int), (const int *), (const int &), (const int), (int * const) and (const int * const)? I'm too lazy to look up the details, sorry.
Without looking anything up in the standard, int and int& are indistinguishable. int* is a different type from int, and won't be confused. const vs const int don't matter to the caller. - const int& is preferred over int/int&. - const int* is preferred over int*. --John
