+// This function just forwards `parse("filename.toml")` to std::string version
+// to avoid the ambiguity in overload resolution.
+//
+// Both std::string and std::filesystem::path are convertible from const char[].
+// Without this, both parse(std::string) and parse(std::filesystem::path)
+// matches to parse("filename.toml"). This breaks the existing code.
+//
+// This function exactly matches to the invokation with string literal.
+// So this function is preferred than others and the ambiguity disappears.
