I have a opDispatch solution here [1], probably very similar to 
the other opDispatch solution mentioned. It is used in d-scanner 
since several years, e.g here [2]. I'd like to have this as a 
first class operator because as usual in D,  you can do great 
things with templates but then completion is totally unable to 
deal with them. Also There's a great difference between using the 
template to do refacts and using it to write new code. Very 
frustrating to write `safeAcess(stuff). ` and no completion popup 
appears.
