How C++ Resolves a Function Call

C++ resolves certain kinds of tricky function calls via a remote procedure call that sends an SMTP mail to the ISO committee, and waits for a reply. (It's compile time though, no biggie.)

False. SMTP is not mandated by the standard.

For the curious, this exact series of comments _is_ mandated by the standard and therefore be reliably located in every thread that involves C/C++.
