I guess D is smart enough to figure out which is a type and which is a variable. C++ gets confused in similar situation.
Well it isn't about type vs variable (except for in this exact declaration), it is just one is defined at top level and the other is defined local to the function. You can have local variables with the name name as top-level variables.
If you had another local thing called Foo already, even if it was a type and not a variable, then it would complain.
