compiling with DMD v0.139 on Windows XP I get:

testBool.d(18): function testBool.print called with argument types:
(bit)
matches both:
testBool.print(bit)
and:
testBool.print(bit)
testBool.d(19): function testBool.print called with argument types:

matches both:
testBool.print(bit)

and:

I don't understand:

- If bool is an alias for bit, then the declaration of the two functions shoul
have failed at line 11.
- If bool is a typedef for bit, then the program should have compiled correctly.

Ciao

Bool is an alias for bit (-> dmd/src/phobos/object.d:6).
