I haven't used D2 much, but from what I've read on overload sets I can't 
see how they'd breaking (very much) stuff.
 From what I understand, the "single overload set" case is identical to 
what happens in D1, and the cases with multiple ones are always an error 
in D1 (assuming a call to one of the overloads is attempted). The only 
case where the behavior would differ in the case of valid D1 code 
compiled as "D1 + overload sets" would be the result of something like 
is(typeof(foo(ARGS))) where "foo" consists of multiple overload sets, 
AFAICT. And I can't imagine that corner case to be "very much breaking" 
all by itself...
