Class access to static overloaded method do not works.

<code>
class A
{
  static void bar(int x) {}
}

class B: A
{
  alias A.bar bar;
  static void bar(char[] x) {}
}

void main()
{
  B b = new B();
  b.bar(1); // ok
  b.bar("1"); // ok

  B.bar(1); // error: function expected before (), not 'bar'
  B.bar("1"); // error: function expected before (), not 'bar'
}
</code>

Mixins have that bug too.

DMD 0.95 still have this bug:

<code>
template TA()
{
	static void foo(int i) { }
}

struct B
{
	mixin TA!() ta;
	alias ta.foo foo;
	static void foo(int i, int j) { }
}

void main()
{
	B.foo(1); // error: function expected before (), not 'foo'
}
</code>

I'm learning here so maybe I've got this all wrong, but isn't one
supposed to instantiate a struct prior to accessing it's members?

shouldn't your main read this instead?

void main()
{
  B b;
  b.foo(1);
}

Just a thought!

No, because foo() is static, i.e. it is member of type, not type instance.

The following compiles successfully:

struct B
{
  static void foo(int i) {}
}

void main()
{
  B.foo(1);
}

The problem in mixins itself.
