if I have a member function alias and corresponding object and
arguments, is there any way to turn them into a member function call?

e.g.

class X{
  void a();
}

auto profit(alias fn, T, Args...)(T t, Args args) {
   ???
}

profit!(X.fn, X)(x);

Constraints are:

1) must conserve ability to omit default arguments
2) if x is a subclass of X which overrides a, must not call overriden a.

I have mutually exclusive solutions for (1) and (2).

.. wait, nevermind. I can probably just wrap the two. It's an
interesting problem, though, so I guess I'll post it.

For 1) just parse out the parameter list from typeof(&fn).stringof and
mix it in as profit's arg list, and then just mixin x.a(paramids), but
that won't counter D's virtual functions

For 2) hack together a delegate
dg.ptr = x;
dg.func_ptr = &fn;

but delegates don't support default arguments.

How about this:

import std.stdio;

class Foo
{
    auto forward (alias fn, Args...) (Args args)
    {
        return fn(args);
    }

    void bar (int a = 3)
    {
        writeln("bar ", a);
    }
}

auto call (alias fn, T, Args...) (T t, Args args)
{
    t.forward!(fn)(args);
}

void main ()
{
    auto foo = new Foo;
    call!(Foo.bar)(foo);
    call!(Foo.bar)(foo, 4);
}

Prints:

bar 3
bar 4

Could this work for you?
