Timothee Cour:
ah, great! So I guess it must indeed be a good idea!
I don't know. It's a cute idea, but I think it doesn't add a lot
of value. What are its advantages in D beside reducing a little
the amount of code?
In what I suggest, the restriction is much weaker so it'd be
more generally
applicable: for example, 'auto myfunction ( isSomeString a,
isInputRange
b)' would work in what I suggest but not with the proposal in
the link. I
don't think it adds any confusion.
"myfunction(isSomeString a, isInputRange b)" should work.
The restriction was different, about code like:
myfunction2(isInputRange a, isInputRange b)
And then trying to instantiate myfunction2 with two types (for a
and b) that are both input ranges but are two different types.
Should I draft a DIP?
Feel free, but be prepared to not see lot of people interested in
it.
I'd like to get more feedback before though.
Right. Andrei is expert on this topic.

I have added a note. It's good to help as much as possible the
person that will write the patch :-)
