Doesn't this call f ( int )? I was under the impression from reading a
book by Sutter (I forget which) that 0 is first and foremost an int.
Thus, f ( 0 ) should call the int version and f ( null ) should call the
string * version. This seems very natural and reasonable to me. What
is the problem here?
