  38         // have to give one matching-point extra to match const functions. There may be
  39         // two functions that match their parameters exactly, but there is one const
  40         // function and one non-const function, then (if the this-pointer is non-const)
  41         // both functions will match. To avoid amiguaties, the const version will get
  42         // one penalty point to make the match-selector select the non-const version. It
  43         // the this-pointer is const, there's no problem, since the non-const function
  44         // will not match at all.
