Make first read function templated too like this:

In fact, there are workarouns. But why the order of the
declarations has an effect on the compilation result.
Namely, if the templated overloaded function goes after the
non-templated one then the compilation fails.
FAILED:
long read( ubyte* bytes, long len ) { return 0; }
void read(T)( ref T val ) { read(cast(ubyte*)&val,
cast(long)val.sizeof); }
Otherwise, if the templated overloaded function goes before the
non-templated one then the compilation is successful.
SUCCEEDED:
void read(T)( ref T val ) { read(cast(ubyte*)&val,
cast(long)val.sizeof); }
long read( ubyte* bytes, long len ) { return 0; }
Why?
