With those templates you can define a new predicate in point-free style
(std.functional.compose!() does something similar for arbitrary functions):

alias two = and!(startsWithJ, fourLetterLong);

With lambdas it becomes similar to:

enum two = (in string s) => s.startsWithJ && s.fourLetterLong;

So are you suggesting to close down this ER because it's not useful enough?
