//Why expression 'foobar(1);' doesn't work?


void foo()(){}
void bar(int){}

alias foobar = foo;
alias foobar = bar;

void main(){
.foobar(1); //OK
foobar(1);  //Error: overload alias 'foo' is not a variable

foo is a template, while bar is a function. I would have thought 
the `.foobar(1)` should have failed too... Must be some strange 
lookup rules I don't know about (or a dmd bug).

`alias foobar = foo!();` should make it work in both cases though.

It works when you switch the aliases around:

void foo()(){}
void bar(int){}

alias foobar = bar;
alias foobar = foo;

void main(){
foobar(1);
}
