How do i get aliases to overloads of a template method like

Class A
{
    int a(T)(T tq,T tw);
    int a(T)(T tq);
}
__traits(getOverloads, A, "a(int)")doesnt work

Bump. I also have a similar problem. I have a module with two function templates that are overloaded (they have the same name, but different sets of parameters) and I need to select one of them so I can cast it to a function with the @nogc attribute, similar to this: http://p0nce.github.io/d-idioms/#Bypassing-@nogc.

```
// move has two overloads: `T move(T)(ref T)` and `void move(T)(ref T, ref T)`
// and I need to select the second one here:
cast(FT)(move!int)(arg1, arg2)

```
Otherwise I get "Error: template std.algorithm.mutation.move matches more than one template declaration".

Is there any way to "select" overloaded template functions?

I require to select one of `std.bitmanip.peek`

    import std.bitmanip : peek;
    import std.system : Endian;
    alias myPeek = peek!(int, Endian.bigEndian, immutable(ubyte)[]);

Error:
template std.bitmanip.peek matches more than one template declaration:
/dlang/dmd/linux/bin64/../../src/phobos/std/bitmanip.d(3269):     peek(T, Endian endianness = Endian.bigEndian, R)(R range) if (canSwapEndianness!T && isForwardRange!R && is(ElementType!R : const(ubyte)))
and
/dlang/dmd/linux/bin64/../../src/phobos/std/bitmanip.d(3306):     peek(T, Endian endianness = Endian.bigEndian, R)(R range, size_t* index) if (canSwapEndianness!T && isForwardRange!R && hasSlicing!R && is(ElementType!R : const(ubyte)))

How to "select" one?

Can you either:

alias myPeek = () => peek!(int, Endian.bigEndian, immutable(ubyte)[])();
Or
alias myPeek = (size_t *index) => peek!(int, Endian.bigEndian, immutable(ubyte)[])(index);

??

With the Range arg as well of course.

Support for template in the getOverloads trait has been added recently.
You have to set an optional trailing parameter to `true`:

```
class A
{
    int a(T)(T,T){}
    int a(T)(T){}
}

enum include_templates = true;
static foreach (overload; __traits(getOverloads, A, "a", include_templates))
    pragma(msg, overload.stringof);
```

> a(T)(T, T)
> a(T)(T)
