This is another example from "The D Programming Language" by Andrei 
Alexandrescu. Compiling the following:

// Code in test.d:

void transmogrify( uint x ) {}
void transmogrify( long x ) {}
void transmogirfy(T)( T x ) {}

unittest {

  transmogrify( 42 ) ;
}

fails with the following error (when compiled with 'rdmd --main -unittest 
test.d' :

test.d(3): Error: template test.transmogrify(T) conflicts with function 
test.transmogrify at test.d(1)

As I understood it the D compiler is capable of setting up a partial ordering 
of functions and choosing one of the three overloaded functions based upon how 
it was called.

Note: The example above works if I remove the generic function that is 
overloading works for explicit types but not for generic types.
