Not true, T is inferred based on the the type Point has been
instantiated with, letting you emit the second template argument.
The following code works:
struct Point(T)
{
T x;
T y;
}
P getResponse(P: Point!T, T)(string message)
{
return P(T.init, T.init);
}
void main()
{
import std.stdio;
//T is inferred to be int automatically
writeln(getResponse!(Point!int)("test"));
}
