Yes I know there is template constraint, but not with
specialized overloading right?
so you need to use static if for checking if it hasmagma.
What is missing is an "else" thing.
So you have to repeat the constraint (as a negation)
unfortunately.
e.g.:
```d
struct LavaMan {
void magma() { writeln(" LavaMan is throwing LAVA"); }
}
struct FakeVulcano {
void try_making_lava() { writeln(" Making fake lava"); }
};
void make_lava(T)(ref T lava) if (hasMagma!T) {
lava.magma();
}
void make_lava(T)(ref T lava_thing) if (!hasMagma!T){
lava_thing.try_making_lava();
}
```

I see thanks for the example :), I think this probably the
closest equivalent i dlang.
I feel like overload in that case make things harder to read
My example has less context switch, and hte logic is correctly
understandable at first sight
Only one make_lava function
It depends this example is quite small and a `static if` is
sufficient, if you have a lot of cases it would make sense to
split thing up into overloaded functions.
imagine you are writing a library for handling vector or matrices
that has a common
`add` function. I just want to know the equivalent thing in dlang
vs c++.
