Java generics are based on "type erasure", i.e., at the syntactic level,
containers are parametrized with the element types, but at the
implementation level, the element types are merely "erased" and replaced
with Object (a top t

Syntactically they look the same (although D's can do more
things) so I'm trying to understand how why in D it's called
template but in languages like C#/Java they're generics.
I guess I have fair understanding of D's code generation but
