I don't think this is a compiler bug, see my comment in 12242. Furthermore, I don't understand what new resolution rules this PR introduces.

This is a compiler bug on cross-module overload set handling. See my comment in bugzilla.

[9rnsr]

@WalterBright In D, overload set cannot contain other overload set. If multiple overload set are imported, they should be merged and flatten to a new set of overloads.

@WalterBright , @9rnsr This has been sitting for 4 months without any forward progress. If it is not a bug, mark issue 12242 invalid, close the pull and end the discussion. If it is a bug, merge the fix and move on. Either way, a decision needs to be made.

[9rnsr]

As I already said, the issue is a compiler bug.

@andralex @yebblies @MartinNowak @AndrejMitrovic How do you think about the issue with D module?

[yebblies]

The concept seems right to me.

[9rnsr]

The concept seems right to me.

Thanks for your opinion.

@WalterBright Please reconsider the issue. I wrote a comment against your argue in bugzilla

[AndrewEdwards]

Unbelievable!

[9rnsr]

In bugzilla, @MartinNowak also agrees about the concept.

And thanks for the merging, @AndrewEdwards .
