If two arrays do not have the exact same element type including qualification, this could be e.g. f(int (&&)[]) vs. f(int const (&)[]), which can still be distinguished by the lvalue-rvalue tiebreaker.
By tightening this branch (in accordance with the letter of the Standard) we fall through to the next branch, which tests whether they have different element type ignoring qualification and returns 0 in that case; thus we only actually fall through in the T[...] vs. T cv[...] case, eventually considering the lvalue-rvalue tiebreaker at the end of compare_ics.
