In D like in Java and C++ and *ahem* unlike PHP it seems static 
functions can be called with instance variable.

Now compile may probably pick instance function here, but imagine you 
decide to refactor you instance Load function. So you rename it Create 
or OnLoad.. whatever. Now .Load suddenly calls static "overload".
So it may be another anti-hijacking thing in D.
