Snippet expansion only occurs for overloaded functions.

This patch seems to fix it:

I haven't seen this problem on my site (with a few tries on the latest code), maybe I need to switch to a cutting edge version of auto-complete to reproduce this problem.

Hmm, I can no longer reproduce this either, even when rolling back to the revision of emacs-clang-complete-async I mentioned when I opened the issue.

This problem must have been due to some misconfiguration on my part, which I accidentally fixed while developing this patch.

Apologies for the noise. :(
