I think I can answer this.
With ! already being used, it already knows it's a template and is separating
your argument. Being as you only have 1 argument, it's allowed. That's why you
can see to!string(x) and to!(string)(x).
At least that's how I understand it. If you have more than 1 argument for your
template say for 'T2 fromTo(T, T2)(T t)', it has to be in parentheses. Not only
would something like 'fromTo!int!string(x)' be difficult to read (and ugly,
feels like :: for c++), it would probably be a pain on the compiler and syntax
checker. So the second one would be 'fromTo!(int, string)(x)'. Etc.
A good number of things are syntactical sugar, making lives easier :)
