Old Synopsis: [2003-01-02] default conversion applied too soon
New Synopsis: [2003-05-03] default conversion applied too soon

State-Changed-Why:
    Nathan, I see what you are saying but I think the code is
    still legal. The applicable ctor is attempting to create
    a const qualified _reference_ to function type, which is
    a valid type. In fact, other compilers like Comeau/EDG
    instanciate the constructor with [T = void(void)]. 
    GCC compiles the code, but applies the default conversion
    too soon, so instanciates the template with [T = (void)(*)(void)]
    which is wrong. If you agree, we can rework a code snippet
    which fails if T is a function pointer so that we can
    properly detect the bug.

 sure. Thre are two other issues that gcc might not
 have got right then.
 1) you can ignore the cv qualifier on a reference when that reference
 is introduced by a typedef or template type parm
 2) DR 295 made the same change for function types
