This is just a potential enhancement request. It's not an enhancement request
because I am not sure about it.

A thread started by Andrej Mitrovic on D.learn:
http://forum.dlang.org/thread/mailman.1043.1337863952.24740.digitalmars-d-learn@puremagic.com

In dmd 2.060alpha this code compiles and doesn't assert at run-time, so it
calls the second overload:


struct Foo {}
void test(void* test) { assert(0); }
void test(Foo* test) {}
void main() {
    test(null);
}


As Andrej comments, shouldn't this be considered an ambiguous call, and refused
at compile time?
