Yep, that is intended. You have to explicitly "import" overload sets. It
does seem to me that if there is only one function in the other overload
set the error could be disabled, however it is clearer the way it works in
2.068.
And it will get us used to having to be explicit when adding to overload
sets like in the code above.
