        static void call(alias F,A...)(F f,A a) {

        void foo() {

You're close.

An `alias` template parameter can be any symbol, including a 
template. But you can't pass in a template as a runtime 
parameter, so having `F f` in your parameters list is wrong 
(there's nothing to pass anyway; you already have the template, 
which is F).

static void call(alias F, A...)(A a) {
    F(a);
}

Then instantiate and call the `call` function with the template 
you want:

call!myVariadict(1,2,3);
