This code tell that C is subtype of A and C is subtype of B.
User can use this fact in his code:
void foo(B);

C c = new C;
foo(c); //Ok.
Of course, we shouldn't allow user to cast c to int:
int i = c; //wrong
However, user can explicitly cast c to his subtype, which is convertable to int:
int i = cast(B)c; //Ok
Summarizing, I disagree with suggestion disallow this code at type semantic stage.

I agree. It will also make possible to break already working disambugation of `foo(c)` kind but adding new `alias this` to one of subtypes independently. That sounds annoying.
