You can't currently overload templated functions with non-templated functions or vice versa: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1528 The solution is to just give the non-templated functions an empty template parameter list. It shouldn't break any code. Worst case, you might have to add constraints to the fully templated version to make it so that it doesn't match any of the arguments that the formerly non-templated function accepts. - Jonathan M Davis
