The One-Letter Nested Function - a sample article for some kind of D "gems" website

[Andrej Mitrovic]

With 2.058 the single-letter function can become:
auto u = (int a, int b) => cast(ubyte)uniform(a, b);

It's not much of savings in typing.

The only problem is I can't seem to make it static:
static u = (int a, int b) => cast(ubyte)uniform(a, b);

Error: non-constant nested delegate literal expression __lambda1

It would be better if you didn't have to specify the argument types. I
think bear asked for templated lambdas, so this could eventually
become:

auto u = (a, b) => cast(ubyte)uniform(a, b);

Which would make 'u' a template. I'm not sure what the exact syntax
was that was requested though.
