An even better example:

import std.stdio;

void foo(bool x) { writeln("1"); }
void foo(long x) { writeln("2"); }

void main()
{
   foo(1);  // "1"
   foo(false ? 2 : 1);  // "2"
}

Kill it with fire.

How about this one:

import std.stdio;

void foo(short x) { writeln("1"); }
void foo(long x) { writeln("2"); }

void main()
{
    foo(30000);  // "1"
    foo(false ? 40000 : 30000);  // "2"
}

VRP should be used as a fallback mechanism. Yes, kill it with 
fire.

I agree 100% VRP is nice but it should not be used implicitly to 
resolve ambiguous cases, that definitely goes against least 
surprise and all that.
