That must be it. mixin can have names (mixin TemplateName AliasName;)
which the functions as a disambiguator.
I don't have access to a D compiler right now. Does this work?:


void main()
{
    {
        void test(ref int x) { x = test(); }
        int test() { return 1; }
    }
    int x;
    test(x);
    assert(x == 1);
}

I hit it while trying to change a module from struct+methods to purely
functions everywhere, to see if there were any efficiency difference.
