My mind must have been in C++ mode there. :) The following is not legal 
in D:

int foo()
{
     return int(42);    // not D syntax!
}

But of course the simpler code below works:

/* A generic function that can make an object of any type. */
Type!index make(size_t index, T...)(T args)
{
// ...

     } else {
         return args[0];    // simply return "the" argument
     }
}
