[Bug c++/16555] Diagnostic shows <unknown type> instead of <set of overloaded functions>

We've been there before. You get these error messages for cases like 
this: 
-------------- 
int f(); 
int f(int); 
 
int g(int); 
int g(double); 
 
int i = g (&f); 
--------------- 
g/x> /home/bangerth/bin/gcc-3.5-pre/bin/c++ -c x.cc 
x.cc:7: error: no matching function for call to `g(<unknown type>)' 
x.cc:4: note: candidates are: int g(int) 
x.cc:5: note:                 int g(double) 
 
I concede that the error message could be improved by using something 
like 
  <set of overloaded functions> 
instead of 
  <unknown type>
