By the way, the more complex C++ examples don't work in D anyway, 
because D is module-based.  For example, it's more likely func would be 
defined in a third module like so:

Module C:

     module c;
     import b; // let's say b is the default implementation

     template func( T )
     {
         void func( inout T t1, inout T t2 )
         {
             swap( t1, t2 );
         }
     }

Main:

     import a;
     import c;

     void main()
     {
         int i = 1, j = 2;
         func( s, t );
     }

However, this doesn't work in D even without overloading.  So perhaps 
it's not much of an issue here anyway.
