Would you also go as far as to say that you'd expect the
following to be perfectly valid D code?
---------
module a;
void foo(T : int)() { }
---------
module b;
void foo(T : string)() { }
---------
module main;
import std.stdio;
import a;
import b;
alias foo = a.foo;
alias foo = b.foo; // [1]
void main()
{
foo!int();
foo!string();
}
---------
1) Error: alias main.foo conflicts with alias main.foo
