I'd advise reporting it as a bug rather than an enhancement request. The whole 
point of using the alias is to bring all of the base class' overloads into the 
derived class' overload set. It shouldn't matter whether the derived class is 
adding overloads or just overriding a subset of the base class' overloads.

If the compiler devs really think that it's an enhancement request, then they
can change it, but it definitely looks like a bug to me.
