I knew what i was doing when closing. You know why ? because of this:

You see a roadblock while I give the opportunity to improve yourself.

By experience I know it's fast, answers come fast in dlang.lean. By experience
I also know that the simple fact to formulate a problem better (so that
everybody can understand it) helps to find the answer. We 've all experienced
that.

No no no, you don't get my example related to the Q asked about partially
instantiated templates. In this particular case, yes it would have been a
duplicate, but it could also be a programming error from mine. This is the
whole point of my argumentation. Intead of being a bit humble and to ask
yourself if the error could come from you, the first thing you do is to suspect
a bug in DMD or Phobos. That's a characterized bias (Congruence bias).

I was not suggesting anyone to report bugs in the NG, I was suggesting to ask
how to use this or that rather than considering that if you don't manage to do
this or that because something it's a bug.

But finally the real problem here is that you can't stand my interference, can
you ?
