Actually, it's not. It's by design. private never hides _anything_ and is always considered _after_ overload resolution. That's how it works in C++, and that's how it works in D. If we want it to change, we need to convince Walter. Personally, I think that we'd be better off if we made private hidden, but I don't know if we can convince Walter of that. Regardless, someone else will probably have to implement the changes. IIRC, someone had done something along those lines and created a pull request, but I don't know what happened with it.
Oh, yeah, I remember that now. I really don't a reason why private aliases shouldn't be hidden.
