--- Comment #4 from Tavian Barnes <tavianator at gmail dot com> ---
IMHO "discards qualifiers" and even "discards const qualifier" are still
confusing. Making it clearly counterfactual, as in "...would discard (const)
qualifier(s)...," would be an improvement.
But I'd further argue that "discarding qualifiers" is not really how most
people think of this kind of error. When a minor tries to get into a bar, they
are not told that "entering this bar discards your age," they are told that
"minors aren't allowed." So I think "cannot bind 'const int' to non-const
reference type 'int&'" would be more intuitive phrasing.
