code with confususion, line 50

import std;
struct bar{
        int i;
}
struct foo{
        bar i; alias i this;
}
void foobar(bar[] yo){
//void foobar(T:bar[])(T yo){
        "bar[]".writeln;
}
void foobar(T:foo)(T[3] t){
        "foo[3]".writeln;}
unittest{
        foobar([foo(),foo(),foo()]);
}

I would suggest throwing in a note that says something like "int[3] matches to
string before T[3] this can be fixed by redefining string function to
'(T:string)(T s)'"
