        <pre>Summary:
When ARC is enabled, C++ candidate templates' pointer template parameters fail
to match objective-C object pointers.


Steps to reproduce:
Compile the following main.mm file, with and without ARC:

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

template <typename T>
void testing(const T & whoCares) {
    NSLog(@"================> Non pointer template");
}

template <typename T>
void testing(T * const & whoCares) {
    NSLog(@"================> Pointer template");
}

int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    NSString *stringObject = @"hi";
    char *cString = "abc";
    testing(1);
    testing(cString);
    testing(stringObject);
    testing<NSString>(stringObject);
    return 0;
}


Expected Results:
The template with the pointer parameter should be instantiated for cString and
stringObject, without needing to parameterize the template explicitly, as
demonstrated by the output when compiled without ARC:

================> Non pointer template
================> Pointer template
================> Pointer template
================> Pointer template


Actual Results:
When ARC is enabled and the template is not parameterized explicitly, the
non-pointer template is instantiated if the pointer is an objective-c type, as
demonstrated by the output when compiled with ARC:

================> Non pointer template
================> Pointer template
================> Non pointer template         <== WRONG
================> Pointer template</pre>
