So they need to be explicitly instantiated... this would be an error..

vector!(int) foo;
foo.append();

because foo doesnt reference an actual object yet?

Is it the same syntax as creating a normal class...

vector!(int) foo = new vector!(int);

or with constructor parameters..

vector!(int) foo = new vector!(int)(10); // create a vector with 10 
elements.

that right?

Does that mean class templates have inheritance??

That sounds complicated lol.

*checks online docs*

So this creates all stuff inside the ArrayProps template, for type int? And 
puts them into the local scope, even inside a class or struct definition...

I can see that being very useful. :-)
