This isn't a question but more of an observation. Here's an interesting
template from the docs:
template Foo(T, R...)
{
void Foo(T t, R r)
{
writeln(t);
static if (r.length) // if more arguments
Foo(r); // do the rest of the arguments
}
}
void main()
{
Foo(1, 'a', 6.8);
}
What really intrigues me here is not the tuples which I already get, but the
fact that Foo is a function template. But if I remove the inner Foo() function
then it's not a function template anymore so the call in main won't work. The
inner function must have the same name as the template, apparently (it doesn't
even state this in the docs from what I can tell!).
There seem to be plenty of ways of making templates, sometimes you explicitly
add the template keyword, sometimes not.. I kind of wish the syntax was more
unified in this regard.
Well anyway, that page (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/template.html) reveals
some really powerfull stuff you can do with templates. If only template error
messages were as exciting to look at! :p
