No, it's not a bug. When you get the address of a member function,
there is relly no way in C++ to know which overload you want to
get. You have to state it explicitly with a cast.

The same thing happens with Boost.Bind, for example, try:

    point const p;
    double x = boost::bind( &point::prob, _1 )(p);

and you'll get the exact same error. The Boost Bind docs has a good
explanation on this. See "Binding an overloaded function" here:
