I had accidentally written:

 immutable pi = 4.0 * reduce ! ( "a + b" ) ( 0 , outputData ) * delta ;

the error message received was:

Error: template instance std.algorithm.reduce!("a + 
b").reduce!(int,Map!(partialSum,Tuple!(int,int,double)[])) error instantiating

which isn't wrong, but neither is it that helpful.  Actually it is
helpful at all really.  Is there no way of saying in a more clear manner
"reduce initial value is an int but the type in the array is double so
they are not addition compatible."?

The correct line is of course:

 immutable pi = 4.0 * reduce ! ( "a + b" ) ( 0.0 , outputData ) * delta ;

but that isn't easily deducible from the error message presented.
