My first instinct is to try this:
void test(T2 : T2[])(T2[] array ) {
writefln("array: ", array); }
but, just like every other time I have tried to use template
specialization I find that I cannot also use argument deduction:
template <file>.test(T : T[]) specialization not allowed for deduced
parameter T
Granted the work around is simply to not use argument deduction but it's
a real PITA.
