----
void foo()(){}
void bar(int){}

alias foobar = foo;
alias foobar = bar;

void main()
{
    foobar(1); /* Error: overload alias 'foo' is not a variable */
}
----

Works when when the call has a leading dot:
----
    .foobar(1);
----

Works when the order of the aliases is switched:
----
alias foobar = bar;
alias foobar = foo;
