The following fails to compile with an 'cannot deduce function

void main()

	import std.algorithm.mutation : remove;
	
	TypeInfo_Class[] arr;
	TypeInfo_Class c;
	arr = arr.remove!(a => a is c);

Yes, it's a bug. It should work.

The problem is that TypeInfo_Class has a method called "init" which shadows 
the built-in type property of the same name. This confuses ElementType.
