Thanks for the extra perspective! Yeah, I think that's what I've been
convincing myself of. Effectively:
```
int overloaded(int);
float overloaded(float) noexcept(error()); // error: invalid declaration
int main() {
(void)overloaded(1.0f); // #1
}
```
We're always going to get the invalid declaration diagnostic. The question is
whether we want a diagnostic at #1 that says "can't call this overload" or
whether we want #1 to have no diagnostic (because it picked the `int`
overload). From a purely diagnostic perspective, I think I can see arguments
either way. But if we change it slightly:
```
template <typename Ty>
constexpr int func() { return 0; }
template <>
constexpr int func<int>() { return 1; }
template <>
constexpr int func<float>() { return 2; }
int overloaded(int);
float overloaded(float) noexcept(error()); // error: invalid declaration
static_assert(func(overloaded(1.0f)) == 2); // #1
```
we still get the invalid declaration diagnostic, but now we get a failing
static assertion because we picked the `int` overload rather than the `float`
overload. I think this is clearly worse behavior than if we issued an
additional diagnostic at #1 saying that the overload we picked (`float`) was
invalid.
