Usually you should explicitly instantiate opDispatch to see the real
error message(s) that prevented opDispatch from being used, but in this
case I can't find a way to do that. `f.opDispatch!("blue")!char()` is
syntactically invalid, and aliasing doesn't work either: `alias t =
f.opDispatch!"blue"; t!char(); // Error: need `this` for opDispatch`. I
wonder what the real error is.
It appears that you can't directly access the eponymous member, this
doesn't work:
f.opDispatch!("blue").opDispatch!(char)();
Error: no property 'opDispatch' for type 'void'
Perhaps that fact that it *works* when you have the non-template version
as the first member is the bug ;)
In any case, I have used Jack Applegame's improved version, and it works
beautifully!
