Yes, but this is an unresolved problem of the language in general. We can have the
template mixin just mixin all 8 versions with different template constraints until
that gets fixed (thats what will be done anyways, at least purity is reflected in
the mangled name AFAIK). The most important feature needed to make it work
correctly, "auto ref" is already there.
