 Please let me know the former expression fails due to the language
 limitation or not.
 
 
 thanks,
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/phobos/std_algorithm.html#reverse reverse is no template.
std.algorithm.reverse is a Function template. definition of std.algorithm.reverse is : void reverse(alias iterSwap = .iterSwap, Range)(Range r); thus it is a template, according to "Function Templates" in http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/template.html please note these codes are working (and failing) in dmd 2.020 int[] arr = [ 1, 2, 3 ]; reverse!(std.algorithm.iterSwap, int[])(arr); // works. arr.reverse!(std.algorithm.iterSwap, int[]); // fails assert(arr == [ 3, 2, 1 ]);

Oh, that's easy: array should be the first parameter in a function, it won't work as a pseudo-member function otherwise.
