It occurred to me last night that we must be careful not to do this in
the overload resolution case.  Looking at extra overloads from the
dynamic type will yield the wrong answer.  I think these code paths
are separate in gdb, so that should not be a big deal, but I thought
it would be good to be explicit about it.
