It's always been that way, I believe, but I don't know if the issue is in 
bugzilla. Given that there's only one template overload that it could match, 
it should really match, but with multiple overloads, there _will_ be cases 
where you'd have to cast to the appropriate type even if this particular 
situation worked. It would be nice if it worked when there was no ambiguity 
though.
