An very similar problem exists for int and char overloads:

Thanks. Addressing this should be part of the DIP as well. --
It doesn't appear to be related to the implicit conversion of
integer literals to bool. While Andrei's example is fixed by
by deprecating implicit conversion of integral literals to bool
(at least using this implementation:
https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/7310), Nick's example isn't.
Well, of course it's not related; it's a char not a bool. But
there does seem to be some systematic problems in D's implicit
conversion rules. I'll have to investigate this and perhaps I
can address them both in one DIP.
