You're right. Property syntax is what causes it. It only
instantiates the template with the parameter for the name.[1]
This code seems to work correctly:
struct bar {
int[string] table;
template opDispatch( string name ) {
@property
auto opDispatch( T... )( T args ) {
static if (T.length == 0) {
return table[name];
} else static if (T.length == 1) {
table[name] = args[0];
} else {
pragma( msg, to!string( T.length ) );
static assert(false, "Wrong parameter count to opDispatch");
}
}
}
}
void main( ) {
bar b;
b.foz = 34;
writeln( b.foz( ) );
}
Note however, that property syntax does not work for the degenerate case
of 0 arguments, i.e. the getter. One has to call it without the benefit
of property syntax.
