>Description:
A templated class with a conversion operator to an integral type doesn't get chosen IF its being applied to a reference variable of the templated type.

This is similar to Gnats 383, but I think it's not the same problem...

If there is ALSO a non-reference variable of the templated type, then the conversion operator is found for both variables.

This works in SPARCWorks and Intel CC 7.0.  It also works correctly if it's a non-templated class with a conversion operator
>How-To-Repeat:
g++ -c try.cxx    // this fails
g++ -c -DWHAT try.cxx // this succeeds
