 I'm looking for a catchy phrase denoting this D idiom:

 verbose templated declaration.


 As far as I'm concerned, we've found a winner right here ;)


 What's verbose about a template with a single declaration?
 
 Verbose adj. "Using or containing a great and usually an excessive number  
 of words"


Normally you write templated declaration using only one symbol:

class Foo(T1,T2)
{
 ...
}

The need to use verbose form is a sing of syntactical deficiency of the
language.
