Cool! One thing I didn't care for reading this that templates are 
introduced via the shorthand for function and struct/class 
templates, rather than introducing the general template mechanism 
first and then showing the shorthand. Templates are one of D's 
best features and I don't think they should be cropped to fit the 
C++ viewpoint.
