I found by accident (while stepping via the debugger) that for val(v) where v is val& C++ chooses the T&& overload as more precise one instead of const val&.

The runtime behaviour of the two is equivalent, so I'm not sure it can be easily tested, but forwarding to the const overload would certainly be a bit more optimal.
