Explain me how the hell you overload on implicit parameter types ?
A method is simply a function that takes a hidden parameter of an
object or struct.
Really, a method with a signature Obj.foo() is a function with a
signature foo(Obj this)
A const method Obj.foo() const is a function with a signature
foo(const(Obj) this)
So it's equivalent to saying you can overload:
foo(int *x)
foo(const(int) *x)
To disallow this would be unnecessarily restrictive.
That is called avoiding the question.
I guess it's called not understanding the question?
