Such a big mess for such a trivially simple API:func( [optionalFoo], [optionalBar] )It would be *fantastic* if D recognized the disambiguation of using incompatible types and permitted this:interface Foo {} interface Bar {} class FooBar : Foo, Bar {} void func(Foo foo=someFoo, Bar bar=someBar) {...} func(myFoo); // Unambiguous, OK func(myBar); // Unambiguous, OK func(myFooBar); // Ambiguous, ERROR
Wouldn't it be better to have named parameters like in Python or C#? That way you could call the function like: func(foo=myFoo) or func(bar=myBar) or func(foo=myFoo, bar=myBar) and there would be no ambiguity.
