Let me clarify this a bit.  My original (incorrect) understanding of "more
specialized" related to the amount of 'work' required to make the set of
function parameters work for the supplied arguments.  For example:

void fn(T)( T val ) {}
void fn(T)( T[] val ) {}

With the above, I would expect the second function to be a better match for
array arguments because T represents less of the complete type, since the array
specifier "[]" is explicit.  Then I added the dummy template parameter so the
module would compile.
