Linker will yell at you in encrypted klingon, unless the function 
is weak. Multiple definitions won't work.

Also, if you try to call that function, D will probably yell at 
you as well as your call is ambiguous, and you'll have to specify 
the module.

Why is everybody yelling today ? Can't we have some calm around 
here ?
