Ok, then the section should be condensed to discuss the aspects in particular where D contributes to generic programming. If Dmeranda is correct in that ""static if"" is a completely other take on generics then that point need to be discussed and exemplified, and I'm not certain if the factorial example is an adequate illustration of this since I failed to get that point. Also, the alias parameters seems to be of relevance and a discussion about these should be added. Static derival of return types risks venturing into pure language comparisons since C++0x will be equipped with a of_type (forgot what it is to be named) static operator and other languages have this facility too. Thus in short, the section should be condensed, sharpened to drive the relevant points home, and a better example should be found (invented?). I am doing a bold edit to test your reaction: since the ""D templates"" section is in all a commentary on the ""C++ templates"" section, I'm moving it to that section as a corollary. It makes more sense like tat the way it is written atm. Feel free to revert if you disapprove of this.  "
