If I understand correctly, we already call `CompareImplicitConversionSequence` 
on the object-argument conversion above, as part of the `for (unsigned ArgIdx = 
StartArg; ArgIdx < NumArgs; ++ArgIdx) ` loop.

I think the address-space ordering rule can be reasonably based on 
compatibility.  In fact, I think it already is in our implementation.  The 
right rule is basically that (1) an exact match is better than a conversion and 
(2) a conversion to a subspace is better than a conversion to a superspace.  
You can think of this as modifying the "proper subset" rule of 
[over.ics.rank]p3.2.5, which in implementation terms means 
`Qualifiers::isMoreQualifiedThan`, which already ends up using 
`isAddressSpaceSupersetOf`.  So if this ranking isn't working right, it's 
probably because we're incorrectly fast-pathing based on CVR qualifiers 
somewhere, and in fact I can see a pretty suspicious check like that in 
`CompareQualificationConversions`.
