Operator overloading, well member function overload in general.

Hi:

So I'm trying to overload an operator. I have the following two
operators:

virtual T operator()(float x, float y, float z) const;
virtual T operator()(int x, int y, int z) const;

If I call it with foo(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f) I get an "overloads have
similar conversions" error. Even if I explicitly cast with
foo((float)1.0f, (float)1.0f, (float)1.0f) it's still ambiguous to VC++
..Net 2003. But if I declare it:

virtual T operator()(float &x, float &y, float &z) const;

It all works fine. As I understand C++, the first set of declarations
should work. Why would that be ambiguous? Am I wrong about this or is
it a bug in VC++?
