Something like that should work instead.
I'm sorry, but I can't comprehend any of your example. What
would be fed into `Args`? I don't understand how this works,
or how I would use it for what I want.
You would replace it with whatever template parameters you want
(including nothing). It's there as a place holder.
Same for the return on the closure.
But the main thing to understand is that the closure that gives
the enum a value, that'll be CTFE only, no runtime target.
Are you saying that this is a way to guarantee that the code is
compile-time only?
I still understand very little of this code. I'm not experienced
in D metaprogramming; just the function I posted above was a
major achievement for me. I don't understand how I would use the
code you gave in place of the function I have written and posted
above.
When you say that "You would replace it with whatever template
parameters you want", are you saying that instead of doing
`mixin(MakeStringOverload!SetWindowTitle);
mixin(MakeStringOverload!LoadShader);` as posted above, I would
write `mixin(Foo!(SetWindowTitle, LoadShader));`?
What does the `return Args.init;` line mean in your example? Am I
supposed to replace this with a call to the CTFE function I had
already written? If so, it didn't work. Making such a replacement
resulted in the same "TypeInfo" error that I had already.
