--- Comment #3 from RazvanN <razvan.nitu1305 at gmail.com> ---
Currently the error message is:

test.d(3): Error: template instance r!r recursive template expansion
test.d(8): Error: template instance test.r!(r, r) error instantiating


This is the correct behavior because when `alias r!r r` is encountered, the
compiler says "r is an alias to something, let's see to what" and then it tries
to analyze `r!r`. When it takes the first `r` symbol it tries to see what it is
and it sees that r is an alias to the type that it is trying now to evaluate.

Closing as invalid.
