It's not. If nothing else, it's perfectly legal to call a
static function with
an instance. e.g.
class C
{
static void func() {}
}
auto c = new C;
c.func();
So, that creates an ambiguity if a static and non-static
function could have
the same name. Now, it could just assume that the instance was
meant in this
case, but it doesn't work that way. It's just illegal to
overload a static
function with a non-static function.
Personally, I wish that it weren't legal to call a static
function with an
object and that you had to explicitly use the class, but that's
not the way
that it is in D, C++, and Java (and probably the same for C#,
though I'm not
sure).

Strange thing.
But I understand, thanks. :)
