It seems like 'templates' are the 'Achilles heel' of D.
Without starting a flame war, has D gotten to the point where ordinary mortals have difficulty coding in D with 'templates' such as 'cycle' requiring rewrites into 'myCycle'?
Does D now require 'deep' memory into layers of history and workarounds?
Is D a general purpose language, suitable for Application Programming, or does it have a more limited scope?
