I just got and idea, what about allowing to overload methods based on if
they're static or not. This would allow the following code:
class Foo
{
void bar () { writeln("bar"); }
static void bar () { writeln("static bar"); }
}
Foo.bar; // would print "static bar"
auto foo = new Foo;
foo.bar; // would print "bar"
When inside a class/struct there would be an ambiguity if both a static
and a non-static method is present. To solve this one would always need
to prefix the static method call with the class/struct name, i.e.
"Foo.bar()". To call the instance method I see two options, either the
method call needs to be prefixed with "this", i.e. "this.bar()" or all
calls that are not prefixed would always call the instance method.
Thoughts?
