Maybe a good idea, but IMO the name resolve_cast is terrible.  It
could mean almost anything.  This is something like
member_function_cast_leaving_target_type_the_same.  Maybe if you
change the interface to accomodate regular functions you could call it
select_overload.

I don't buy the ideas that involve using function types as in 

  select_overload<int(int)> 

because it requires specifying the return type, which is irrelevant.
