Do this instead, I think this will work and avoids an extra call (and 
having to do the argument plumbing that inevitably comes with this kind 
of wrapping):

template opDispatch(string name) {
    alias opdispatch(T) = other_name!(name, T);
}

template other_name(string name, T) {
    auto other_name(Args...)(Args args) {
       // real implementation
    }
}
