Also because D supports separate compilation, Walter doesn't even look interested in doing this :-) > alias A.foo foo; // ### Why the extra steps is needed for the compiler > to 'know' overloaded functions from base classes? Others have already answered. I also suggest you to compile your code using the -w switch when possible. Bye, bearophile
