You ask the compiler to find what 'T' would be. During template
argument deduction the compiler does NOT use any potential promotions or
conversions. The fact that 'stats::Distribution' has a conversion
from 'int' has *no importance* to the template argument deduction
process.

Here no template argument deduction is necessary since you supplied the
argument.
