Template functions, can we make it more simple?

I've brought this up on here awhile ago, and many people seemed
to be against it. Which I don't agree with, since the ambiguities
it creates are easily addressed (from a design perspective at
least) and only exist so that C-style code is usable within D. It
could work like:
auto func(a, b) // auto func(A, B)(A a, B b)
auto func(int a, b) // auto func(B)(int a, B b)
auto func(int ?) // C-style: auto func(int)
Or...
auto func(auto a, auto b) // like C++14
I mean honestly, who's hand-writing a bunch of functions with
nameless params in real D code? Sure it's used for linking to C,
which is semi-common, but I think having the much cleaner syntax
available to "actual" D code makes more sense that not having it
solely for linking-to-C-in-familiar-C-style reasons.
