right f(1) with overloaded function f is not ambiguous.

you know with someone that uses a clearly fake email, does not bother  
to actually check if the compiler doesn't by chance already do what he  
would like to have, and the reason he bashes D, says "I don't want  
implicit casts, because otherwise you know what I would like to have  
happens, and besides cast is a nasty thing, so implicit cast must be  
bad or something, and the name doesn't sound good... so you have to  
abide my rule of no implicit cast"

well that looks like a troll, so as superdan says
"u don't reason with'em trollz."

still sometime you have to answer them just so that outsiders realizes  
that those things are just FUD, and because sometime there is really  
someone that wants to meaningfully contribute to the discussions, but  
starts out in a bad way...

D numerical system is not perfect, and there are possible  
improvements, for example I think that it could learn a couple of  
things from fortran 90 numerical system (which mostly could be done  
with templates), but it is definitely very usable.
