Yeah... I guess I was expecting it to overload across class
boundaries. I mean there's already a member eat in base class
and sub class can't override that since it's got different
parameters, and it's a function (can't be variable), so the
reasonable thing would be to overload it (which is why I tried
override to see if it forces/hints overriding/overloading).
Instead it creates two ambiguous names of which only one has to
be disambiguated to use which seems super error prone. IMO it
should just be error/warning.
Given that, normally properties are just overloaded methods in
D, it's pretty sad classes break this behavior/convention.
It's the exact same as in Java, and probably C# as well. I don't
know if there's any OOP language that overloads methods between
the base and super class.
