Hooray!  Now I can finish porting std.algorithm and friends to D1!

So, we'll see a new std2? :^) (I for one would be very happy)

Not a new std2, just updates to the old one.  But yeh.

Apologies for the delay in updating std2. I've had a good reason (in
addition to having a dissertation to complete), see www.erdani.org. :o)

I'm referring to this std2: http://www.dsource.org/projects/std2
I think you're referring to std in v2 Phobos, but if you really are
referring to std2 then I look forward to the updates.  ;-)

Sorry, I was indeed referring to std v2 in Phobos. I warn you guys, there's
going to be plenty of changes to std.algorithm.

With ranges and reference returns, I suspect so.  D2's added special
support for foreach over ranges, right?  Is there anything else that
had to change D2 in for ranges?

Anyway, my personal goal with D2 is not so much to facilitate
compiling D2 code in D1, but more to just bring similar functionality
to D1.  So if std2.algorithm gets stuck at today's rev because of
porting issues, I can live with that.  But currently there is no
functioning version std.algorithm at all in D1 because of the heavy
use of partial IFTI with those string alias parameters.

Couldn't you use a double template?

        template doSomething(string predicate)
        {
                void doSomething(A)(a) { ... }
        }

Then call it like this:

        doSomething!("hello!")(5);

I'm using this trick at some places the D/Objective-C bridge.

Anyway, it's probably not worth the trouble anymore given that the latest DMD fixes the problem.
