Sorry for the late reply, I was on holiday last week.

It might not cause much valid code to fail, it can make at least one
compiler diagnostic less useful.

In http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/libstdc++/2004-07/msg00138.html I said:

>>>>>>
A user who accidentally called std::find() with 4 args, not 3, would get
a diagnostic saying there was no matching function, but would also get
something like this:

include/c++/3.4.1/bits/stl_algo.h:171:
note: candidates are: _InputIterator std::find(_InputIterator,
_InputIterator, const _Tp&, std::input_iterator_tag) [with
_InputIterator = int*, _Tp = int]
include/c++/3.4.1/bits/stl_algo.h:201:
note:                 _RandomAccessIterator
std::find(_RandomAccessIterator, _RandomAccessIterator, const _Tp&,
std::random_access_iterator_tag) [with _RandomAccessIterator = int*, _Tp
= int]

The extra diagnostic adds unnecessary noise

So I'm glad you fixed it, Chris  :-)
