Thanks for the reply.
As with most people, I don't write a lot of D code that uses
classes that much.
The use case I'm thinking of is with allocators, which - to be
honest - is not something I deal with much in m

A very thorough explanation!
One follow-up question: would it be possible to mimic the

Thanks for the thorough explanation. Most of that is how I was
thinking it worked. However, that leaves me perplexed. If
templates just generate code then how come:
Wouldnt..
class SomeClass(T) : ISomeInterface!T
and..
