Oh you're right, I didn't think that templates could share the 
same name as functions.  You can't do this with classes:

class classOrTemplate { }
class classOrTemplate(uint N=1) { }

With this new information, yes this would be a "destabalizing" 
language change.  Thanks for the example.  I'm against this.
