Hi,

I'd like to hand over a function to a template. However I am unable to get
access to the functions argument type. In the following code the function's
argument has been set to double but it should actually be of type T2. T2 is
this case is an array and i would like something to give me the type of the
array which i can then use to replace the double with. 

Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks a lot.

-------
import std.stdio;
import std.math;

T1 [] dMap( T1, T2 )( T1 function(double) fp, T2 array) {
        T1 newArray[];
        newArray.length = array.length;
        for(int i = 0; i < array.length; i++) {
            newArray[i] = fp(array[i]);
        };
        return newArray;
}

void main() {
        auto b = [0., 6.5, 3.1415];
        real function(double a) fp; 
        fp = function(double a) { return sin(a);} ;
        auto d = dMap(fp,b);
        writefln("d = ", d);
}

I figured you'd use this:

T1 [] dMap( T1, T2:T2[] )( T1 function(T2) fp, T2[] array) {

But that gives:

template dbl.dMap(T1,T2 : T2[]) specialization not allowed for deduced 
parameter T2

and I have no idea why specialization is not allowed :(

If you also call it with:

auto d = dMap!(real,double[])(fp,b);

it works, but that's a pain.

Specialization + IFTI = error, I'm not entirely sure why.  But 
specialization isn't needed here:

T1 [] dMap( T1, T2 )( T1 function(T2) fp, T2[] array) {

works fine.  :)

I would really like to know why.

I could have sworn I tried that.
