           Summary: Non-template overload taken when template matches
                    better
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: peter.alexander.au gmail.com

import std.stdio;

struct S
{
    int x;
    alias x this;
}

void f(T)(T t) { writeln(T.stringof); }
void f(int t)  { writeln(int.stringof); }

void main()
{
    f(S.init); // f(int) called
}

This writes "int", but should write "S".

The template should be preferred because it matches without implicit
conversions while the non-template requires a conversion. TDPL states that the
non-template should be preferred only when it matches equally well (or better)
than the template.

It likely has to do with the order of operations:

1) Try direct match of: type, then alias this, on regular function
2) Try direct match of: type, then alias this, on templated function

(I'm just speculating it works /something/ like this)

And the 'alias this' wins before a templated function is tried. I guess it's a
question of priority. We'll see what Kenji and others have to say.
