Basically what the title says, how do I check if a type T is an instantiation of a specific template?

If you have an updated Phobos std.traits.isInstanceOf could be what you look for.

Yep, exactly what I needed.

Incidentally, while trying to see how its used I found that a lot of the links on the std.traits doc page do not work and have no documentation. For instance http://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html#isInstanceOf does not actually appear on the page but has a link to it up in the navigation header.

Other links on that page that don't work...
isAssignable, isBoolean, isIntegral, isFloatingPoint, isNumeric, isScalarType, isBasicType, isUnsigned, isSigned, isSomeChar, isSomeString, isNarrowString, isStaticArray, isDynamicArray, isArray, isAssociativeArray, isBuiltinType, isPointer, isAggregateType, isIterable, isMutable, isInstanceOf, unsigned

It seems that all the variable template's docs are not getting generated...

Please file bugs for these. We need to fix the docs.
