I wasn't talking about recursion but composition. Can I write template A and then apply it to itself to get template B and then apply that onto template C to get template D.

I can't quite wrap my head around how that would work, but I'll trust you and then take my original claim back!

auto alist = [1, 3, 2];
alist .sort .map!(x => x * x) .map!(x => x - x/2) .map!(x => x + 1);
This seems like what you're asking. Each of those is a template. And while this is all logic code, D has inferred the type aka: SortedRange!Map!Map!Map
With some details removed.
