Has anyone ever found a way to actually implement forwarding properly with opDispatch, such that it works for both general templates and also functions called using ifti (implicit function template instantiation)?


What is your actual usecase ?

I'm trying to make std.typecons.Proxy support more things correctly (e.g. template members, members that are aliases of types). I thought that was clear from the rest of my post.

You are aware that your trying to mix an runtime and a compile-time feature, yes ?

Not quite sure what you mean there. What is a runtime feature here?

If it can be done then you will have to use CTFE and aliasSeqOf.

The problem isn't with generating code (unless there's some very involved exhaustive solution I haven't thought of). How would you imagine I would use CTFE or aliasSeqOf to help here?

op-dispatch is a runtime feature.
It takes a string which is avilable at compile-time and passes it as a runtime parameter. This runtime parameter can be used at ctfe if opDispatch is called at ctfe. Then aliasSeqOf transforms it into a string-literal which can be used by templates.
