While trying to overload a function in local/function scope, I

As far as I can tell, this should be fine in global scope (and 
it is), but I'm curious as to why it doesn't work inside a 
function.

I *think* it has something to do with how name-mangling is done. 
I don't know the details. I know you can workaround it by putting 
your functions a static members of a dummy struct:

class A {}
class B {}

void main()
{
        static struct Dummy
        {
                static void func2(A a){}
                static void func2(B b){}
        }
        alias func2 = Dummy.func2;
        A a;
        func2(a);
}
