Expected behavior
The program should compile.
(It should print zero, as the types are not expected to be convertible)

Additional context
This item is also tracked on Developer Community as DevCom-317991 and by Microsoft-internal VSO-671111 / AB#671111.
I'm tagging this "enhancement" rather than "bug" because the expected behavior is not Standard-mandated behavior so much as a desirable extension.
I don't understand why it is not Standard-mandated.
It's because nothing in bind()'s specification requires its function call operator to SFINAE away for un-callable arguments. (This is because bind() is ancient and predates result_of SFINAE.)
I'm 95% sure that this analysis is still correct. If the Standardese actually requires bind() to SFINAE, please let me know.
After WG21-P1065, bind's specification now uses _expression-equivalent_, which I think requires SFINAE?

Close enough to it, yes. So let's call this a bug.
Oh yeah, I noticed expression-equivalent's conditional noexcept implication while reviewing #703 (which @AdamBucior then implemented), I should have realized it implies SFINAE too. Thanks!
