Well the problem has other ramifications beyond bool. Consider:
import std.stdio;
int fun(short v1) { return 1; }
int fun(long v1) { return 2; }
void main(string[] args)
{
writeln(fun(10_000));
writeln(fun(100_000));
}
This prints "1 2". So the behavior of bool in this case is
consistent with the behavior of other integral types.

It's not entirely the same. You provided two overloads of
integral types. bool is not integral.
And yes, I personally don't like this either, but I could live
with it. Buy fun(1) calling the bool overload? It's ridiculous.
"Code that looks correct should be correct". fun(1) calling bool
overload sure looks and is correct.
