I tried to produce an example of calling a function with

This compiles and runs, producing the output shown, using the

There's a much more concise workaround, both in code written
and generated ;)
import std.stdio;
template func(string file = __FILE__, int line = __LINE__)
{
auto func(T...)(auto ref T args)
{
writeln("called func with ", T.length, " args at ",
file, ":", line);
}

void main()
{
func();
func(1, 2, 3);

Thank you for reminding me that templates can contain a
definition of a function
of the same name, which still surprises me as convenient, not as
a bad thing.
Unfortunately, when I tried it, I found that while that attempt
at a workaround is
twice as concise in lines of code and symbols introduced, it is
not acceptable.
It gets the lines reported wrong. It reports the line for where
the template was
first instantiated for the same tuple of argument types, instead
of exactly the line
of each call of `func`.
