           Summary: dmd 165 breaks existing code
           Product: D
           Version: 0.165
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla@digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: someidiot@earthlink.net


existing code that was legal with dmd.164 does not compile with 165.

void append (char[] content);
void append (char[] delegate());

these two cause an ambiguity in dmd.165 whereas they did not in dmd.164

This is the sort of thing I was worried about too. It is quite feasible that 'append' might want to behave differently depending on whether the argument is a string or a delegate.
