Re: template struct question
Just wanted to thank everybody for their suggestions. Ali's code
provided the breakthrough:
```d
import std.stdio;
void main()
{
struct HexBoard(F,I)
{
this(F d, I r, I c) { diameter = d; rows = r; cols = c; }
F diameter;
I rows;
I cols;
}
void displayHexBoard(HB)(HB h) {
writeln(typeof(h.diameter).stringof);
writeln(typeof(h.rows).stringof);
}
auto h1 = HexBoard!(float,uint)(.25, 3, 7);
auto h2 = HexBoard!(double,int)(.3, 5, 5);
displayHexBoard(h1);
displayHexBoard(h2);
}
```
which returned
float
uint
double
int
My problem was with the definition of void displayHexBoard(HB)(HB
h) {} definition.
I kept futzing around with trying to insert HexBoard(F,I) into
where HB is. It is incredibly elegant how D can take h1 or h2
and instantiate the template HB.

Is there any clever way to move the method outside of a
templated block structure? Or is this as good as it gets.
I tried
// Explicit instantiation for 'int' type
//int add!(int, int);
void displayHexBoardData(HexBoard2!(float,uint) h); //
declaration
but that just returns
Error: declaration `displayHexBoard` is already defined

```d
import std.stdio;
struct Foo(T, L) { T t; L l; }
void display(T, L)(Foo!(T, L) f) { f.writeln; }
alias FooIntD = Foo!(int, double);
void main() { auto f = FooIntD(10, 20.3); f.display; }
```

The problem is that the compiler doesn't know what F and I are.
They are placeholders, but you didn't give them a definition.
```d
void displayHexBoard(F, I)(HexBoard!(F,I) h) {}
```

it can be inferred at the call site, but template arguments must
still be declared

Would isInstanceOf be useful? (Which is actually optional.) It
necessitated two aliases in the struct:
void main()
{
struct HexBoard(F, I)
{
alias Float = F;
alias Int = I;
this(F d, I r, I c) {}
}
import std.traits : isInstanceOf;
void displayHexBoard(HB)(HB h)
if (isInstanceOf!(HexBoard, HB))
{
pragma(msg, "The types are ", HB.Float, " and ", HB.Int);
}
auto h1 = HexBoard!(float,uint)(.25, 3, 7);
displayHexBoard(h1);
}
