Why no function overloading?

I can't seem to find any rationale for Zig not supporting function overloading, only [mentions from Andrew](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1251) that Zig does not and probably never will have it. Meanwhile that's one of the worst flaws of C, and one very easily correctable. Have there been any hard counter-arguments given?

Note that I'm not asking about operator overloading which Zig does have (albeit in an inextensible way) but specifically about being able to define ordinary functions with different param types in the same namespace:

    fn foo(param: Foo) !Baz {...}

    fn foo(param: Bar) !Baz {...}
