Oh, it's perfectly fine if you're not writing a library that's 
designed to allow user extension by going the "all in one" 
method. If you encourage your users to modify your function 
itself, they can no longer drop in a new version and have to do a 
merge.

Templates in general seem weak for libraries in D, which is a 
pain considering templates are one of the areas where the 
language otherwise excels.
