           Summary: (private) std.stream.isdigit conflicts with
                    std.ctype.isdigit
           Product: D
           Version: 1.015
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: ryg at gmx.net


Repro:

// ---- start

import std.stdio;
import std.stream;
import std.ctype;

void main()
{
  writefln("%d", isdigit('1'));
}

// ---- end

The problem seems to be the couple of "helper functions" at the end of
stream.d. Easiest workaround would probably simply declaring them static as
well as private (and the same probably applies to other module-scope private
variables/functions in Phobos).

Anyway, since the spec states that "Private module members are equivalent to
static declarations in C programs" (in "Attributes"), declaring anything
"private" at module scope should probably force static linkage.
