I think if we ever get swap(1, 2) to compile and run we'd effectively
have destroyed the D programming language.
Depends on context.
int swap(int diskNum, int partitionNum);
Someone pointed out that swap could be a function that swaps heap indexes,
and might even take by ref not caring if you want the resulting value that
was swapped.
with(someHeap)
{
swap(1, 2); // swap indexes 1 and 2
}
