D language supports shadowing members, where the shadowed

Why is this enabled, and when should one use this advanced

That's not considered as shadowing as you can distinguish the
two members using a qualified access chain.
```d
class A {int m = 1;}
class B.A {float m;}
assert((new B).A.m == 1);
```
I understand that members of various levels can be distinguished.
What I don't understand is why one would use this technique.
