Really?! I still find them very confusing. Maybe its just the formatting
but I often find it so hard to understand or find what I'm after that I
refer to the source code to work it out.

It must be me, but I still find D2 templates as clear as mud. The syntax is
butt-ugly, counter intuitive, and reader-hostile, IMHO. I'm sure that C++
is worse, but that is not the issue.

I'll have to wait until somebody writes the "D Templates for Dummies" book.
