Not many people using D spend a lot of time spelunking in the bowels of templates, especially now that CTFE is available. The basics are quite handy, but a lot of it is rather arcane, since the type system allows for quite a bit of freedom.

Now, now. No cross, no crown, no green sword. If you want to start a flamewar, just talk about const :P

Though it does make sense, in a vague, twisted way. You just expect to be able to do some things that don't yet work.

Green sword? I meant green star. It's the symbol for Esperanto.

I think everytime someone mentions Esperanto, all kind of discussions arise... maybe it's that what he meant?

That doesn't explain it either, just uses the phrase.
