I'm trying to implement an embedded list template class.
It looks something like:

template <class T> class emList {
   ...
   emList *    _next;
   T           _value;
   ...
};

I'd like to define TWO functions:

     operator T () { return _value;}

and
     operator T& () { return _value;}

Is the second definition legal?
How would the compiler resolve them?

:)
