This code compiles fine:
------------
struct Vector(T, uint SIZE)
{
	T[SIZE] vector;

	this(T value) {
		foreach (ref v; vector) v = value;
	}
}
alias Vector!(int, 3) Vec3i;
------------

but if I add a variadic constructor:

------------
struct Vector(T, uint SIZE)
{
	[...]

	this(T...)(T values) if (values.length == SIZE) {
		foreach (i, v; values) vector[i] = v;
	}
}
alias Vector!(int, 3) Vec3i;
------------

I get:
main.d(54): Error: template main.Vector!(int, 3).Vector.__ctor(T...)(T values) if (values.length == SIZE) conflicts with constructor main.Vector!(int, 3).Vector.this at main.d(46)
main.d(111): Error: template instance main.Vector!(int, 3) error instantiating


I think that should not happen because when there is a conflict call like Vec3i(3) the compiler must(?) use the specialized function...

Known bug. For the moment, the workaround is to templatize all constructors:

struct Vector(...)
{
    this()(T value ) {
        ...
