It's not exactly clear what's your problem, since you haven't put a 
tiniest description of what the compiler outputs.
still:
array.countUntil!("a == b", T[], T)(array, element);
should be ether
countUntil!("a == b", T[], T)(array, element);
or:
array.countUntil!("a == b", T[], T)( element);

also drop thouse ugly explicit template params (the compiler can and 
would figure them out anyway):
array.countUntil!"a == b"(element);  //same as default 
array.countUntil(element);

another one:
removeAt(index);
should be array.removeAt(index) or removeAt(array, index);

And last but not least there is remove in Phobos, it's just link to it 
from summary table is constantly getting screwed up.
