It is an issue with DDoc. I think the signatures are not that nasty if you look at the actual code. I think DDoc expands all aliases so you get the full template-expanded signature.<br><br></blockquote><div><br>The problem also is that when you use 'auto' to simplify your code, DDoc doesn't process the associated documentation comment! Gee, I wonder if that's somewhere in bugzilla?<br>
Ah, there: <br><a href="http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2581">http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2581</a><br><br>Else I'd use auto much more often. As it is, the only solution I found to avoid monstrous many-lines templated types is something suggested here: have the type produced by a wrapper template. It duplicates the work for the library writer, but it's easier on the eye for the user.<br>
