<pre>I don't think there's any reason not to apply the convenience of type diffing
to non-templates such as:
void func(int*);
int main() {
const int i = 3;
func(&i);
func(3);
}
We produce a fairly specific diagnostic: "1st argument ('const int *') would
lose const qualifier", but I think the type diffing might actually be less
special-case and more helpful here ("'<const >int *' v 'int *'")
In the second case we just say "no known conversion from 'int' to 'int *' for
1st argument" - again, highlighting the '*' could be helpful with more deeply
nested types/names/diagnostics.</pre>
