digitalmars.D.learn - Method-call based on template argument

I'm trying to do the following:

module myModule;

int calculate(T)(int a, int b) if(T == "add") {
   return a + b;
}

int calculate(T)(int a, int b) if(T == "subtract) {
   return a - b;
}

But when I try to run the following code, I get "template myModule.calculate"
does not match any function template declaration":

void main() {

   int a = 10;
   int b = 20;
   std.stdio.writeln(calculate!("add")(a, b));
   std.stdio.writeln(calculate!("subtract")(a, b));

}

Is there any way to check if the given template argument is "add" or
"subtract"? I also tried:

int calculate(string T)(int a, int b) if(T == "add") {
   return a + b;
}

int calculate(string T)(int a, int b) if(T == "subtract) {
   return a - b;
}

... without any success (I'll get an instantiation error).

 }
Below works ----------- import std.stdio; int calculate(string T)(int a, int b) if(T == "add") { return a + b; } int calculate(string T)(int a, int b) if(T == "subtract") { return a - b; } void main() { int a = 10; int b = 20; std.stdio.writeln(calculate!("add")(a, b)); std.stdio.writeln(calculate!("subtract")(a, b)); } Output ------ 30 -10

Hm... yes - works. I simply rewrote my method-header and it just works, too...
but thanks :)
