Why doesn't overloading of const member functions work?
struct S {

     int min() const { return A()<  b ? A() : b; }

DMD2 compiler error: S.A () is not callable using argument types () const

Is it a bug or by design?

how do you want to call the different A() functions? i.e. how will D
know which one you want to call?

It would depend on whether the instance of the struct is mutable or not.

eg. the min() function is const, so the this object is const, and it 
would resolve to calling A() const.
