This issue is not closely related to overloading.
Slightly refining the overloading rules as proposed in issue 3345 would already
solve the problem.

struct S{
    static void foo(){...}
    void foo(){...}
}

struct T{
    static void foo(){...}
    void bar(){...}
}

void main(){
    S s; T t;
    S.foo(); // calls the static version
    s.foo(); // calls the instance version
    T.foo(); // ok
    t.foo(); // ok
    // T.bar() // error
    t.bar(); // ok
}
