In the documentation on templates I read:

"Implicit Template Properties
If a template has exactly one member in it, and the name of that member is the same as the template name, that member is assumed to be referred to in a template instantiation:
template Foo(T)
{
T Foo; // declare variable Foo of type T
}
void test()
{
Foo!(int) = 6; // instead of Foo!(int).Foo
}"

What practical benefit does it serve having a template with a single member which has the same name as the template itself ? It does not appear that one can do anything with such a template.

Never mind ! I see the reason for it.
