My concern is that this shouldn't compile in the first place. 
What is xyz?, Is it a free function? Is it a member variable or 
function?  In my mind it is neither of the two so why does it 
compile? Removing the string changes the signature of opDispatch 
but as shown in my prior example, there are orther ways to cause 
this error.
