As I said earlier, the problem is when one uses literals. The compiler is quite
inflexible when it comes to assigning type to literals.

Try this ...

  void processLong(long x){}
  void processLong(ulong x){}

  void main() { processLong(42); }

Now it complains because '42' could be either a long or ulong and it doesn't
know which one you meant. So code one of these below instead ...

  void main() { processLong(42U); }
OR
  void main() { processLong(42L); }

now it stops complaining.

Seriously, if you saw '42' in someone's code how would you decide which of the
functions to call?
