What was the resolution for the case when the constructor is a template?
I think that's why IFTI doesn't work for structs and classes in C++.
Although, I can't get the following to compile in D anyway (that old and
annoying error message again! :p):
Error: no property 'opCall' for type 'deneme.B'
import std.conv;
class B
{
string s;
this(T)(T t) // <-- Is the struct a template
// or the constructor a template?
The constructor it is, and B is a class, not a struct.
{
s = to!string(t);
}
}
void main()
{
auto b0 = B(42);
}
I wasn't around when the static opCall() was designed but it is probably
the very first thing that bugged me about D. :) I want B(42) to be
object construction, not opCall(), which is not even defined.

Why? What useful semantics would that have for classes?
