This shouldn't be a example in good programming style. It should show a
compiler behaviour, that I think is a bug.
In this case I WANT a typedef to be able to have different function overloads
in both cases. That is "typedef" is for. That does not work with alias.
But now it doesn't work if the first parameter is null. I think the compiler
should be so smart, that he also can make the decision in this case.
