I'd like to achieve the following:

}

but this doesn't compile:
Error: variable [...]dg type void is inferred from initializer delegate
(__T26 a)
{
return a * 2;
}
, and variables cannot be of type void

However this works:
    writeln(a.map!(a=>a*2).array);
but I want to reuse dg in other expressions (and avoid repeating myself)
Also, I want to avoid using string litteral enum dg=`a*2` as in my case
dg is much more complicated and this is cleaner without a string IMHO.

My questions:
1) why can't the compiler infer the type int(int) for dg?
2) how to convert a lambda a=>a*2 to a delegate or function?

Try this:

auto dg = (int a) => a * 2;

If that doesn't work, this should:

auto dg = (int a) { return a * 2; };
