--- Comment #12 from Mathias LANG <pro.mathias.lang at gmail.com> ---
The current error message is a bit better:
> test.d(9): Error: template class test.Bar(T = int) is used as a type without instantiation; to instantiate it use Bar!(arguments)

Given that:
- This bug has been open for 12 years
- There is no consensus in the favor of this enhancement
- Walter Bright has spoken against it

It should clearly go through the DIP process to properly assess if there would
be any corner cases, semantic or parsing wise.
