I've been working on porting an old D library to D2, and I'm running into a
nasty issue with templates and inheritance. I've got a base class like this:
class Reader {
void get(T)(ref T[] buffer);
}
and a subclass like this:
class SubReader {
void get()(SomeClass param);
}
The problem is that by creating a new form of the template in the subclass,
I made the base class's version invisible. If I try to use "alias
Reader.get get" like I would do for functions, the compiler complains that
the symbols clash (no musical puns intended). Does anyone know how to get
this to work?
Template functions are non-virtual. You can't derive from them. If you want
the derived classes to have the same functions, you must redefine them in the
derived class.

Yeah, but isn't that an overload, or specialization, in the subclass?
