Would someone be able to explain this ? I can only seem to call a template constructor in one way, but I can't seem to pass what looks like an accepted type to the template constructor via a function call.

   this (int R,int C)(T[R][C] val) {

   }
}
void check (obj_!float val) {
   writeln ("success") ;

int main () {
   float[3][4] testval ;
   obj_!float  p = testval ; /+ works +/

check (testval) ; /+ not callable using argument types compiler error +/

Hello, the problem you encounter here is that D, per spec, does not perform implicit construction from parameters. You have to constructs explicitly. Nothing more to explain.
