Generally, the fix to that is to templatize the function which isn't 
templatized. That could mean templatizing its argument and then using template 
constrains to enforce that it's exactly the same type that it was before 
rather than increasing the number of types that it can take, but it does fix 
the overloading problem. Still, dmd really should be fixed to get rid of this 
issue.
