Well, I see that a template with 0 parameters can act as a
"type", if you will.
Just like functions
void foo(T)(T x)
acts like a normal function foo(3) even though it is a
templated function.
In fact, I see very little difference between a template with 0
parameters and a type.
Type!() = Type
I think this is a very bad idea theory-wise, if not in practice
as well. A template is a type constructor, not a type. They are
two very different things. You can get the size of a type, its
members, etc. while you cannot for a template.
