```d
int function(int) square;
void main()
{
   square = (int a) => a * a;
   int square = 5.square;
   assert(square == 25);
}
```

Thanks, SDB 79

you can use explicit call parenthesis to make the difference 
between the local var and the global func. Also you have the 
module access operator and the fully qualified name as 
alternatives to select the one you wish to.

- Local variables in a function can hide variables in less nested 
scopes. (Such hiding is only an error for nested block scopes within the 
same function.)

- UFCS always looks up names in module scope, it does not even check locals.
