We can't do that, because then

///////////////// test.d /////////////////
auto functionIWantToCall(T)(T v)
if (is(T == long))
{
    // ...
}

void main()
{
    auto result = 5.functionIWantToCall();
}
//////////////////////////////////////////

will produce "Error: no property `functionIWantToCall` for type `int`", and the
user would be in their right to say "What do you mean, it's right there!".

But maybe for UFCS calls there could be a message that is between the two.
