foo.d:
struct Rectangle(T) {}

bar.d:
bool Rectangle(bool, int, int, int, int);

main.d:
module main;

import foo;
import bar;

void test(Rectangle rect)
{
}

$ rdmd main.d
main.d(6): Error: overloadset __anonymous is used as a type

I've had this happen where I've used CairoD and WindowsAPI together. A templated struct and a function have the same name in different modules.

My error is that I forgot to instantiate the template with a type, like so:
void test(Rectangle!int rect)
{
}

But the error message doesn't help one bit.
