[D-runtime] What is a hidden function?

[Steve Schveighoffer]

class A
{
   void hiddenFunction(int x);

}

class B : A

{
   void hiddenFunction(long x);  // does not override A.hiddenFunction!

}

B b = new B;
A a = b;

b.hiddenFunction(1); // ok, does not call A.hiddenFunction
a.hiddenFunction(1); // error, hiddenFunction exception thrown.

At least, this is what it used to mean.  I think Andrei wanted this to be a compile-time error, but I'm not sure if it is yet.
