--- Comment #4 from Kenji Hara <k.hara.pg at gmail.com> ---
This is not a bug, it's normal name lookup behavior with inheritance. For
example:

class A {
    void foo(int l) {}
}

class B : A {
    void foo(string l, int k) {}
}

void main() {
    B b = new B();
  //b.foo(0);       // NG, because B.foo hides A.foo
    b.foo("x", 1);  // OK
}

There's two options:

1. Explicitly specify the base class/interface name on the foo call.

    b.A.foo(1);     // OK

2. Add an alias due to insert overload in the B.foo

  class B : A {
    alias foo = A.foo;   // OK
    void foo(string l, int k) {}
  }
  b.foo("x", 1); // ok
  b.foo(1);      // also OK
