Bug 15830 – UFCS prevents to select a free function when the parameter has a member with the same name

Maybe DMD could detect that if the call to a member function is invalid this is maybe because it's a call to another function. struct Foo { uint _value; alias _value this; void test(){} } void test(uint param0, string param1){} void main() { Foo foo; foo.test(""); // want to call the free function, not the member }
