  42         // function and one non-const function, then (if the this-pointer is non-const)
  43         // both functions will match. To avoid amiguaties, the const version will get
  44         // one penalty point to make the match-selector select the non-const version. It
  45         // the this-pointer is const, there's no problem, since the non-const function
  46         // will not match at all.
