The function template
     void foo(A)(A a, real b) { ... }
is matched by
     foo(1, 1.0L);
but not by
     foo(1, 1.0);
since the second argument is a double literal.

I think the latter should also work, since it would work for a 
non-templated function. Don't you agree? :)

I am using D1, by the way. Is it the same in D2?

It's a bug that Walter tried to fix a while ago, didn't get right, and
as far as I know _still_ hasn't gotten right.

The code:

void foo(A)(A a, real b) {  }

void test()
{
     foo(1, 1.0);
}

compiles with both D1 and D2.

Ok, must be that I'm using an outdated compiler, then. I am using 64-bit 
Linux, so I have to use GDC. (Right?)
