In light of phobo`s code sometimes having growing complexity in

`*Simple` such as `mapSimple` that had no overloading, no type 
checks, no default parameters, etc.

For canonical reference of behavior, debuging meta programming, 
and bandaiding if someone broke type inference inside template 
hell.

Help thread earlier today about dense meta programming cycle bug 
where the cycle off the top of my head worked. Also basically 
whenever Phobos type checking is to agressive.

Let me just make your argument for you:

 It’s important to remember that when you start from scratch 
 there is absolutely no reason to believe that you are going to 
 do a better job than you did the first time

I don't make false negative type inference bugs with this one 
weird trick that the standard style guide doesn't want you to 
know about
