Re: catchy phrase for this idiom?

[BCS]

Hello Tim,

What's verbose about a template with a single declaration?

Verbose adj. "Using or containing a great and usually an excessive
number  of words"

there is no compact form for alias but this

T Foo(T)(T t) { return t; }

is internally identical the the more verbose form:

template Foo(T) { T Foo(T t){ return t; } }
