That is a template specialization for types that convert to int so adding the symbol t!int to the object file would not be very accurate. --

https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18906 --- Comment #2 from Manu --- It's a specialisation. Someone might call `t!(IDontKnowWhat)(value);`, and if IDontKnowWhat is int, it should use that specialisation, and if it's not, it should instantiate the generic unspecialised one. It also affects function mangling, and extern linkage. --

```
int t(T : int)(int x)

return x * 2;
}
```
What is the point of the template?
