However:
This syntax sucks.
Why not support the following syntax:
template a(auto T) {...}
with same semantics?
Because this is problematic with more arguments:
I'd like this:
template a(auto T1, double T2){...}
but instead have to do that:
template a(T...)if(is(T[1]==double)) {...}
and it gets quickly more complicated
