Well, without the accompanying types that are used in the declaration I'm  
not entire sure how I could give you a good answer. However, since it's a  
template function, I can say that template functions in DI files are  
basically straight implementation dumps of the D file. Can you tell me  
where DI generation hiccups in that code? If the hiccup is inside the  
function impl than I doubt anything I've changed will fix your error.
