This should select A::foo(const my_int&) unambigously; enum to int is
a promotion (see 4.5) while enum to bool is a conversion (4.12)
and a promotion is a better match than conversion, (13.3.3.2/4).
But there's reference binding requiring conversion, so both are user-defined conversions [over.ics.ref]/1, and none of them is better than the other, because the tie-breaker is only the second conversion sequence [over.ics.rank]/3, that is an exact match in both cases.
OK. But why this compiles without error with gcc (3.3) on one platform and one another (gcc 3.3) it doesn't?
