Yeah. Creating new overloads for functions from a base class gets annoying
fast. It's probably great from the standpoint of avoiding function hijacking
bugs, but as with many of the restrictions that we get as part of the
attempts to avoid function hijacking in D, the result can be a bit annoying
in practice.
