I've written an article which goes over templates and objects.

On a similar note I've republished _Learning to Program Using D_. 
Not a whole lot of change on the content front. Some expansions 
on existing chapters and a few fillers were added. Still very 
unfinished at around 50 pages.

http://nascent.freeshell.org/programming/D/LearningWithD/

I include a generated PDF and a pre.tex file. What is probably of 
more interest to others writing D books in Latex is I have a 
program which handles building running and capturing output for 
the "final" tex file. It is very picky about formatting and can't 
handle file includes and probably many other fancy Latex options 
but it is mine so :P

And finally code uses the listings package, for which I have 
provided a style file to handle highlighting.

Sounds like a good idea, I'll have to dig into it since at this 
time I don't really understand what that means it is doing.

Probably you should also have a look how Eiffel, Modula-3 and Ada 
implement generics.

They are quite similar to C++ and D, with the constraint that the 
programmer has to explicitly instantiate which types are used.

Wow, that is awesome ! Do you have some documentation on the dirty 
detail behind the technique ?

It not if this is what you're really after, but here are some details 
how .NET JITs generic code

You can even instantiate generic types at runtime
