That's already the case, look at

https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Pegged/blob/master/pegged/parser.d

on line 134, for example.

struct GenericPegged(TParseTree)
{
...
}

And then, the library alias a standard version (line 1531):

alias GenericPegged!(ParseTree).Pegged Pegged;

Which means the customer-facing Pegged parser is in fact a generic
parser specialized on ParseTree. But you can substitute your own parse
tree.

That's of course the same for all parsers: GenericXXX(TParseTree)
{...} and then alias XXX = GenericXXX!(ParseTree);


But you're right, it's not really documented and I don't have a
template checking whether TParseTree respect some static inferface.
This parameterization was asked by someone on github, but I don't
think they used it finally.

ParseTree is described here:

Maybe we can continue this thread by private mail? I'm not sure people
on the D list are that interested by the internals of a library.
