An very similar problem exists for int and char overloads:

alias foo = (char c) => 1;
alias foo = (int i) => 4;

enum int e = 7;
static assert(foo(e) == 4); // fails

Wait a minute!  This doesn't appear to be a casting or overload problem.  Can you really overload aliases in D?

Yes.

auto foo(int x){ return x; }
auto bar(double x){ return x+1; }
alias qux=foo;
alias qux=bar;

void main(){
    import std.stdio;
    writeln(qux(1)," ",qux(1.0)); // 1 2
}

This is by design. The fact that the following does not work is just a (known) compiler bug:


alias qux=(int x)=>x;
alias qux=(double x)=>x+1;

void main(){
    import std.stdio;
    writeln(qux(1)," ",qux(1.0)); // error
}
