Regan Heath (6/101) Mar 09 2005 I'd say this is a bug. :)

That said, how else can you achieve what you're after?

If you can't then this might be something we should consider adding to the  
spec.

What I wanted to do was create a class library in D for those who are familiar
with Java. The List interface is implemented by several different classes
(including the Vector class). E is a generic type. Basically, a List is a list
of values of the given type E. The Vector class implements a resizable List.

One of the functions of a List is to extract a subset of the List (a sublist),
given a starting index and length. The sublist is, of course, another List.

When I compiled this code with an earlier version of the D compiler, the
compiler mentioned "illegal forward reference," if that helps.

Why not just use D's inbuilt array type?

exercise for testing D.

Maybe interfaces cannot be templates (and that is something that should be added
to the spec).
