Deletion in History, look for:

 20:35, 16 August 2011‎ Peter.alexander.au

"Removed the 'Templates in D' section entirely as it had nothing to do with
generic programming. What does compile time factorial and C API wrappers have
to do with generic programming? Templates and generic programming are not
synonyms."

The rationale for deletion is actually here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Generic_programming#D

At the end:

"Does there have to be an exclamation point in factorial!(n-1)?"

I think that this should be considered otherwise any other author might see its
paragraph on D deleted. The point is that the guy didn't get the exclamation
mark is used to instantiate a template.
