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
}
```
