abstract class test {
    def f[U](u:U,p:Int) : U = u
    def g = {
        val n = 0
        def f(p:Int):Int = this.f(n,p)
        def f[U](u:U) = this.f(u,n)
        ()
    }
}

This fails to compile at def fU = this.f(u,n) with the error : method f is defined twice, even though the signatures are quite different and an overload should be detected.

Only methods can be overloaded. The defs you are declaring inside a def are function objects and must have unique names.

Couldn't the compiler generate these unique names for me so that I can still benefit from overloading in that situation ?
