This is only OK because it's a function declaration, not a variable definition.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Most_vexing_parse

If you change it to be a variable then you get the same ambiguity:

std::complex<double> cc{number()};  // ambiguous

std::complex<double> cc = number(); // ambiguous

std::complex<double> cc = std::complex<double>(number());  // ambiguous

And that's correct, there are two user-defined conversions that can be used to
construct a std::complex<double> from a number, so this is not a bug.
