vector<int> bug?

[Theodore C. Belding]

It looks like I repeated a mistake I made several weeks ago, regarding
overload resolution and the new C++ Standard.

The following snippet results in compiler errors:

vector<int> table;
table.insert(table.end(), 2, 0);

However, the following compiles fine:

vector<int> table;
table.insert(table.end(), 2u, 0);
                          ^^^

Due to the new standard, it seems that the "2" is being interpreted as int
during overload resolution, rather than unsigned int, which is what I had
intended.

I wish the errors were less cryptic, but it seems to be my fault again. :)
Thanks!
