Template Instantiation and Template Specializations
Explore how to instantiate templates in D to generate code for specific types and how to create template specializations. Understand how to tailor template behavior for complex types like structs and strings, enabling efficient and flexible programming.

Template instantiation
Automatic code generation for a specific set of template parameter values is called an instantiation of that template for that specific set of parameter values. For example, to!string and to!int are two different instantiations of the to function template.
As we will mention again in a separate section below, distinct instantiations of templates produce distinct and incompatible types.
Template specializations
Although the getResponse() function template can, in theory, be used for any template type, ...
