          Issue ID: 24687
           Summary: [REG2.110] Cannot cast string-imports to select
                    overload anymore
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: kinke gmx.net

This fails with current stable (v2.110.0-beta.1+), but worked with v2.109:
```
void foo(string path);
void foo(const(ubyte[]) data);

void bar1() { foo(import("bla.txt")); } // matches both
void bar2() { foo(cast(const(ubyte[])) import("bla.txt")); } // matches both!
```

Output:
```
reg.d(4): Error: `reg.foo` called with argument types `(string)` matches both:
reg.d(1):     `reg.foo(string path)`
and:
reg.d(2):     `reg.foo(const(ubyte[]) data)`
reg.d(5): Error: `reg.foo` called with argument types `(const(ubyte[]))`
matches both:
reg.d(1):     `reg.foo(string path)`
and:
reg.d(2):     `reg.foo(const(ubyte[]) data)`
```
