Say I have two interfaces
    interface I { void f(); }
and
    interface J {  int f(); }
implemented by some class
    class A : I, J {
        // challenge by the compiler:
        // implement f()!
    }

VB.NET allows that by renaming the implementation (it does allow it generally, not only in the corner case). C# allows that by specifying the target interface when implementing (can be omitted for exactly one; corner case handling); the specification makes the implementation private. (See [1]) Java just disallows the case when two methods are incompatible. If they are compatible, they must be implemented by the same method. If they are meant to do different things, you are screwed.

What is D's position on that? The interface spec [2] does not say anything about that case.
