--- Comment #4 from Walter Bright <bugzilla at digitalmars.com> ---
I'm not sure what the "right" semantics are, either, because each of the
behaviors can be justified.

But I can suggest avoiding using default function arguments. Default arguments
are a good solution for adding parameters without breaking existing code, but
are not a good practice otherwise. The behavior observed here, as well as its
interaction with overloading, are examples.

The only other thing I can think of is issuing a warning if a function with a
default argument is being used as a setter.
