In fact, how can the template be instantiated at all in the
following example, where no functions can possibly be known at
compile time:
```
auto do_random_map(int delegate(int)[] funcs, int[] values)

auto func = funcs.choice;
return values.map!func;
}
```
Thank you for the insights!
It works for the same reason this example works:
```d
void printVar(alias var)()
{
import std.stdio;
writeln(__traits(identifier, var), " = ", var);
}
void main()
{
int x = 123;
int y = 456;
printVar!x; // x = 123
printVar!y; // y = 456
x = 789;
printVar!x; // x = 789
}
```
