So that other people don't have to search: According to my reading of the
standard (mainly 13.3.3.1.1 and 13.3.3.2 [*]), this is because when choosing
which conversion for overloaded functions is better, the standard treats all
integer conversions[**] the same. I'm a bit confused by "the rank of S1 is
better than the rank of S2," in 13.3.3.2, since reading also 4.13 I would say
that long and long long have different rank, therefore int->long should be
prefered to int->long long, but a test with all GCC, Clang and MSVC shows
that having f( long ) and f( long long ) makes f( 0 ) ambiguous :(. Makes me
wonder if there is some obscure reason for this or if just the person coming
up with this was having a bad day.
