I've been told that the reason C#'s generics are done in the limited way that they are is that it allows them to cross DLL boundaries (or...it was something along those lines, I forget exactly what.) If what you describe about D's templates does occur, then maybe we would be able to give them the same extra ability that C#'s generics have?
