Currently, there is no way (that I've found, at least) to do

of the issues __traits(getOverloads) has, as a bonus.
Would it be possible at all? I mean, if the two following codes
are equivalent
´´´
@S("Has foo_A") template foo(string s) if (s == "a") {
enum foo = "foo_A";
}
@S("Has foo_B") template foo(string s) if (s == "b") {
enum foo = "foo_B";
}
´´´
´´´
template foo(string s)
{
static if (s == "a")
{
@S("Has foo_A") enum foo = "foo_A";
}
else static if (s == "b")
{
@S("Has foo_B") enum foo = "foo_B";
}
}

How would you define a "template overload"?
And which "overloads" would you like to get if constraints are
more general?
And last but not least, the getOverloads is defined on functions,
which are callable, whereas templates are not, in general...
