This is one of those perennial issues, that everybody discovers.

Previous enhancement requests identical to this one include bug 1100, bug 3116,
bug 4639. I remember requesting it once, as well.

It goes back even further. Here's a discussion from July 2004 (template alias
parameters were first implemented in Jan 2004, so this is the dawn of time):

Interestingly one thing which _was_ changed in D2 is that template alias
parameters can now include expressions. Late in the history of D1, local
variables were also added as template alias parameters. But still not basic
types.
