Would be nice if std.meta.ApplyLeft did the job here.. Is there no way of achieving that?

Would have to find a way to determine whether Template would resolve to a function or not. Can't find anything in Traits[1] or std.traits[2]. Template inspection looks rather limited : /.

It is, but for a fairly good reason. This is perfectly valid D:

template foo(int n) {
    static if (n == 0) {
        struct foo {}
    } else static if (n == 1) {
        enum foo = 24;
    } else {
        void foo() {}
    }
}

Given an uninstantiated foo, you can't know if it'll resolve to a function or not, so I guess some version of the template I wrote could be added to Phobos as ApplyLeftFn or something.
