In http://www.digitalmars.com/d/function.html , in the section "Function Inheritance and Overriding", there are some simplifications that can be made in the examples code. Namely, all those void bar(A a) functions are pointless, and could be "inlined" in the test function. For example:


 void test()
 {
   B b = new B();
   bar(b);
 }

 void bar(A a)
 {
   a.foo(1);	// calls A.foo(int)
   B b = new B();
   b.foo(1);	// calls B.foo(long), since A.foo(int) not considered
 }

could very well simply be:

 void test()
 {
   B b = new B();
   A a = b;
   a.foo(1);	// calls A.foo(int)
   b.foo(1);	// calls B.foo(long), since A.foo(int) not considered
 }

I didn't check for other places in the doc that might be simplified so.

Hum, it seems you fixed one of the examples(the 2nd), but there are still 2 more there (the 1st and the 3rd) that could be fixed (have unnecessary bar functions).
