This seems too dangerous to allow (by default).

Do static and non-static methods form one overload set?

struct S {
 static auto opCall(int) {...}
 auto opCall(string) {...}
}

Oh, and i just noticed the suggestion in this report that static fields should
not be accessible via an instance - no, that would a break a lot of code, for
almost no gain (you can already place the static data in another struct and
embed
that one in an (anonymous) union)
