Jarrett's reply makes me realize the issue. I have version(unittest) import
std.cstream;
I thought I told descent to use unittest in its list of versions. I'll double
check my setup.

No :(
Templates are designed to do compile-time magic based on their input arguments.
Currently, I can't see that magic in the compile-time view. The templates I
looked at were still template foo(T) instead of somehow showing the bodies for
foo!(int) and foo!(char)

Thanks for Descent and the rapid fixed!
Unrelated to the new features, I have a few other observations
1. The auto-complete of parenthesis makes me lazy and I end up leaving off
semicolons. Is there any feature to add those too?
2. Auto-complete of curly braces works differently than parenthesis. I usually
type the matching symbol anyway. For parenthesis, everything just works, but I
keep ending up with too many closing curly braces.
I'm very new to descent, so I still have time to correct my own behavior when
editing code.
