Hello,

I need a trick to allow a function template parameter be optional.
The following (reduced case) fails because D wants to call f:

uint f(uint i) { return i; }
struct S (alias func=null) {
enum bool hasFunc = !(func == null); // *** error line ***
}
unittest {
// ok
auto s1 = S!()();
writeln(s1.hasFunc);
// not ok
auto s2 = S!(f)();
writeln(s2.hasFunc);
}
==>
Error: function ___.f (uint i) is not callable using argument types ()
(I consider that a bug due to "f" implicitely meaning "f()" --but this is
another story.)

Found one solution using isCallable! Other tricks welcome...

uint f(uint i) { return i; }
struct S (alias func=null) {
    enum bool hasFunc = isCallable!(typeof(func));
}
unittest {
    auto s1 = S!()();
    writeln(s1.hasFunc);
    auto s2 = S!(f)();
    writeln(s2.hasFunc);
}

I'd also like to know why pointer cannot be template *alias* parameters, like 
in:
    auto s2 = S!(&f)();
==>
        Error: expression & f is not a valid template value argument
