Agree with most of this. UFCS for templates would be awesome,
but the syntax is trickier, since instantiation uses ! instead
of .
I can't see how you get around the ambiguities, especially when
a template could be a UFCS function.
I believe a reasonable case can be made for .! for UFCS - it's
currently invalid syntax and will not compile, and ! is the
symbol we already associate with template instantiation:
alias memberFunctions = __traits(allMembers, T)
.!staticMap!Member
.!Filter!(isSomeFunction);
