Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the VS Code outline view using the reported C++ struct with foo() & and foo() &&, on ms-vscode.cpptools 1.29.3 or a current checkout. Trace how the outline represents these member functions; done means the two ref-qualified overloads are displayed distinctly while const qualifiers remain shown.
