can't understand how `sliced` definition compiles

[timotheecour]

@9il I don't understand how to parse this:

in mir-algorithm/source/mir/ndslice/slice.d

Slice!(Iterator, N, kind)
    sliced
    (Iterator, size_t N, SliceKind kind)
    (Slice!(Iterator, 1, kind) slice, size_t[N] lengths...)
    if (N)
{ ... }

it looks like: ReturnType sliced(args) (something_else) if(N) {...}

what is (something_else) ?

[dnadlinger]

(args) are the template parameters, (something_else) the actual parameters.

[9il]

sliced has multiple declarations (edited). This definition construct an ND slice from 1-dimensional slice and shape lengths
