 Error: function B.test () is not callable using argument types (int)

It is a concept called "name hiding". It is intentional to prevent at 
least "function hijacking".

Yeah. You have to alias A's overloads inside of B or explicitly declare them
as overrides and call the A versions from inside them. So, something like

alias A.test test;

or

alias test = A.test;

inside of B should work (though I haven't done it recently, so the syntax
might be slightly off), or you can just do

override void test(int i) { super.test(i); }

One can "import" the declaration by using an alias: 

class A {
    void test(int) {}
}

class B : A {
    alias test= super.test;
    void test() {
        super.test(1); // compiles
        test(10);      // compiles
    }
}
