Description
An id-expression whose terminal name refers to an overload set S and that appears without arguments is resolved to a function, a pointer to function, or a pointer to member function for a specific function that is chosen from a set of functions selected from S determined based on the target type required in the context (if any), as described below.
Emphasis mine, whether it means:
- S is determined based on the target type, or
- a set of functions is determined based on the target type.
? Although, S seems to only rely on the result of the name lookup. However, the sentence requires us to check other subclauses t o determine what the intent actually means.
Is it an improvement?

Research direction
Start with the quoted overload-resolution sentence in issue #6127 and read the surrounding subclauses it references to determine whether the target type selects S or a subset of S. Done means revising the sentence so that relationship is unambiguous while preserving the intended standard wording.
