I want to parse a substring into an integer. I try:

ios7crypt.d:

...
string hash = "104306170e120b";
auto seed = parse!(int)(hash[0..2]);
...

But dmd complains:

ios7crypt.d(68): Error: template std.conv.parse does not match any function
template declaration.

To get around this, I can separate parsing into two steps.

ios7crypt.d:

...
string hash = "104306170e120b";
string seed_str = hash[0..2];
auto seed = parse!(int)(seed_str);
...

The second snippet compiles and runs. I just wish I didn't have to do this;
that the template syntax could handle nested expressions.

Full source, in case anyone would like more context:

This is actually because parse() takes a ref source and that slice is an
rvalue.

I recommend doing this instead:

auto seed = hash[0..2].to!int;
