I like it too, now. I think trying to see it as a casting operation
made it look inelegent. How about a simple name change:

    boost::overload<int>::select(&C::g)

or

    boost::overload<int>::resolve(&C::g)

?

For overload resolution by arity one could write:

    boost::overload< by_arity<3> >::resolve(&C::g)

but that's still a bit cumbersome.
