VRP propagation is what makes the call possible, but that's a distraction. The problem is that getInstantiation is setting Q to int and leaving T to be it's default type of short, which is not the same as if you just call with an int (which infers T from t and leaves Q as it's default float. Fundamentally, you can't assume the same order of runtime and template arguments.

template parameter inference and introspection
Is there any way to get a reference/alias to the instantiation of a template function that would be called, given certain parameters? I.e. to get the result of whatever template parameter inference (and overload resolution) has occurred? E.g. for some arbitrarily complex foo: static assert(__traits(compiles, foo(3))); alias fooWithInt = someMagic(foo(3)); so if foo was `void foo(T)(T t) {}` then `fooWithInt` would be `foo!int`, but if it was `void foo(Q = float, T = long)(T t)` then `fooWithInt` would be `foo!(float, int)`
