Formally speaking, what matters here is that adjusted parameters types form parameter-type-list, which overload resolution seems to be concerned with (https://eel.is/c++draft/over#match.general-1, even if I don't really trust this wording). But you are correct.

Then, if `hasSameUnqualifiedType` aspect of you implementation is supposed to take care of that, I think you need to reconsider, because stripping top-level cv-qualifiers in not the only adjustment that happens (https://eel.is/c++draft/dcl.fct#4). I'd like to see additional tests with parameters of array and function types.

Also, I think it would be worth leaving a comment that default arguments do not contribute to the set of arguments that [over.match.best] considers. (Instead, parameters which have default arguments are discarded per https://eel.is/c++draft/over#match.viable-2.3.sentence-2)
