Hi All,
Currently within D, to make use of a parent class method you have to do:
class Parent{
void methodA(int x){...}
}
class Child : Parent{
// I understand that it has to do with preventing accidental hijacking
alias Parent.methodA methodA;
void methodA(long x){...}
}
void main(string[]){
Child obj=new Child();
obj.methodA(1); // expecting to call Child.methodA but calling
Parent.methodA;
}
and also from this URL.

If, through implicit conversions to the base class, those other
functions do get called, an std.HiddenFuncError exception is raised.
I can't believe this has fallen off the radar.
There should be no std.HiddenFuncError. Such errors must ALL be detected
during compilation.
