Hello all,

Suppose that I have a struct like e.g.:

    struct A
    {
        void foo(int n) { ... }
        void foo(Range)(Range r) { ... }
        int bar() { ... }
        int bar(double x) { ... }
        // ... and others ...
    }

... an I want to wrap it in another struct, B. If I do this manually it would be something like,

    struct B
    {
        private A a;
        void foo(int n) { return a.foo(n); }
        void foo(Range)(Range r) { return a.foo(r); }
        // ... etc ...
    }

But suppose that I don't a priori know the list of functions (and function arguments) that need to be wrapped. How could I go about working this out, with a generic programming approach, i.e. _without_ manually writing the individual cases?

More specifically, how could I work this out limited to a specific function of A (say, foo) ... ?

Thanks & best wishes,

You might want to look at std.typecons.Proxy
also, opDispatch is a very powerful tool for doing this sort of thing.
