Though they look like functions, templates are strange beasts...
It seems that your template looks at the symbols it knows when it is
instantiated, and it will select the most specific in the known symbols at that
time. If both procs have been parsed by the compiler when invoked, it will
choose
Thanks for the detailed answer! I have a lot to learn... :)
Yes. If you want the template to match the other function mix it in.
template temp(a) =
mixin x
x(a)
Run
Or define another function or template before temp
proc x[T:not int](i: T) =
echo "generic x 2"
Run

after the template, the template always uses the generic fn:
proc x[T](i: T) =
echo "generic x"
template temp(a) =
x(a)
proc x(i: int) =
echo "specific x"
temp(1
