I assume its you Hasan, who has been inserting D examples into the  
wikipedia topic. If so, can I please ask that we stop doing that, so we  
can focus on the topic and not the methods that some langugaes have  
implemented templates. To just isolate two languages (C++ and D) in the  
wikipedia entry is divisive and does *not* help the D cause in any way.  
There are better forums to demonstrate the benefits of D's particular  
implementation of templates.
