What is the type of this missing actual parameter?

There is no missing parameter. It is just a convenience syntax to 
avoid copy-paste mistakes. Those two are equivalent:

```
void foo( int, double, string, );
```
vs
```
void foo( int, double, string );
```

  `this( T ...)( T param)'
I got a "Range violation" on accessing the last parameter of `param'.

Maybe the parameters are wongly counted?

On reducing the case it turned out, that the error message blaimed the 
wrong file for a really existing "Range violation". By pure chance the 
lines in the wrongly given file were these:

      AST[] astStar= visit( data.ast[0]);
      foreach( elem; data.ast[ 1 .. $])
        astStar~= visit( elem);
      // <-- erroneous line

--- and the second parameter was missing, but the `,' was introduced by 
another bug.

I will file a bug report on "error message gives wrong filename".
