No, not a bug.

I suspect you want this?

void incx(Args..., T)(ref T t);

This doesn't seem to work, because:
test.d(3): Error: template `test.incx(Args..., T)(ref T t)` template tuple parameter must be last one

Hm... didn't realize that. It seems to me like an odd limitation, but I can see how it's ambiguous.

The solution is to double-template:

template incx(Args...)
{
   void incx(T)(ref T t)
   {
      ++t.x;
   }
}


Are you sure it's not a bug? It would be very un-intuitive otherwise, no?
Considering that the declaration is legal, and that the template parameter deduction works when Args.length == 0, but stops working when Args.length > 0.

Not a bug, because when you explicitly specify template parameters, they are specified in left-to-right order.

You have incx(T, Args...)(ref T t)

t.incx!(1, 2, 3); // 1 => T (error), 2 => Args[0], 3 => Args[1]
incx(t, 1, 2, 3); // typeof(t) => T (uses IFTI), Args == empty tuple,
// 1, 2, 3 => extra runtime parameters that don't match anything?
