void f(int); void f(string *);

Doesn't this call f ( int )? I was under the impression from reading a book by Sutter (I forget which) that 0 is first and foremost an int. Thus, f ( 0 ) should call the int version and f ( null ) should call the string * version. This seems very natural and reasonable to me. What is the problem here? -Jason
