So it would be part of the type sometimes (argument deduction, mangling) and not part of the type otherwise (overloading)? That seems like a bad idea too, to me. My mental model for this is still that it's like `_Atomic` or `_Complex` in that it specifies a type that's distinct from its underlying type. So that would include overloading as well as argument deduction.
