--- Comment #3 from Walter Bright <bugzilla at digitalmars.com> ---
The reasons for this behavior are twofold:

1. Local functions aren't visible outside of their scope. Their use is pretty
limited, and so there isn't much of any benefit to overloadability.

2. Forward references aren't allowed in local scope, meaning any use of
overloading would be fairly restricted anyway.

It's not impossible to overcome this, it just seems pointless.
