actually, second template is uninstantiable at all. you want to do type 
deconstruction at instantiation, and that doesn't work.

i.e. what your code wants to do (as it is written) is to have `T` in second 
template to be equal to `double`. you cannot deconstruct the type like that 
in template. what you *can* do, though, is this:

  auto max(T)(const(T)* x, const(T)* y)

this way it will select your second template.
