Well, this works (dmd 1.023):

-----------
import std.stdio;
class Man
{
     void member_function(T)(T arg) {
         writefln("Got me an x and it's value is %s", x);
     }
     int x = 23;
}

void main()
{
     auto ima = new Man;
     ima.member_function!(int)(3);
}
--------------

Seems like the doc is wrong.
