opDispatch and template parameters

Hi,

 Is this usage of opDispatch supposed to work:

====
module test.d;

import std.stdio;

struct DispatchTest {
    void opDispatch(string name, string otherName)() {
        writeln(name, ":", otherName);
    }
}

void main() {
    DispatchTest t;
    //t.testName!("testOtherName")();
    t.opDispatch!("testName", "testOtherName")();
}
====

 This compiles fine but if I remove the commented line, dmd (v2.048) tells 
me:

test.d(13): Error: template instance opDispatch!("testName") does not match 
template declaration opDispatch(string name,string otherName)

The error seems OK for a "normal" function, but for opDispatch, it seems 
limiting to me. Is this a bug?

Here's an other, similar, test:

====
module test.d;

import std.stdio;

struct DispatchTest {
    void opDispatch(string name, T)(T t) {
        writeln(name, ":", T.stringof);
    }
}

void main() {
    DispatchTest t;
    //t.testName!(DispatchTest)(t);
    t.testName(t);
}
====

Which gives, when uncommenting:

test.d(13): Error: template instance opDispatch!("testName") does not match 
template declaration opDispatch(string name,T)

So bug or not?

 Guillaume
