function argument for map: why shorter form does not compile?

Hi.
I have this reduced example:
```
import std.algorithm : map;
import std.format : format;
void main ()
{
auto a = [1, 2, 3];
auto b = a.map !(x => format !("%d") (x)); // ok
auto c = a.map !(format !("%d")); // orphan format specifier
}
```
Why the line with `b` compiles, but the line with `c` does not?
Shouldn't the compiler deduce the type for the format argument as
a.front?
