I was just expressing a little frustration :-)
An example; despite it looks simple I am missing something: import std.typecons: Tuple, tuple; import std.algorithm: reduce; struct Foo { int x; } auto foo(in Tuple!(Foo[]) arg, int) { return tuple(arg[0]); } void main() { int[] data; Foo[] empty; auto seed = tuple(empty); reduce!foo(seed, data); } Bye, bearophile
