This is actually the way a lot of stuff is implemented in d 
runtime code, like the array helper functions (the interface done 
via a bit of magic in the compiler rather than templates mostly 
tho). I find it works in some cases with a bit smaller binary, 
little runtime speed change, and it can sometimes help compile 
speeds.

Of course, you can also sometimes use interfaces and classes to 
achieve this same goal.
