I don't understand what you are asking. Function declarations / definitions can of course be
checked for return types. Overload resolution comes into play when you find a
function call expression and you want to find out what the thing is that is being
called. A function ? A call operator ? Which version, dependent on the type the
argument evaluates to ?

What are you referring to ? Function declarations or function call expressions ?

What do you mean by reuse ?
