What makes the choice of < > for template parameter bad appears when someone tries to nest templates.

     a<b<arg>> 

and now a means greater becomes a shift right. That's one of the reason that it you had a genious ideo to find domething else in D

a(template params)(runtime params) at declaration a!(template params)(runtime params) at invocation with the type deduction and parenthesis omission making often even disappear completely the template syntax.

thank you
