          Issue ID: 22613
           Summary: Alias to template instantiation can act as the
                    template itself
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: x86_64
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd
          Assignee: nobody at puremagic.com
          Reporter: hagai at weka.io

Example:
```
enum foo(int x) = x;
alias bar = foo!1;

pragma(msg, bar);   // prints 1
pragma(msg, bar!2); // prints 2
```

`bar` is an alias to instantiated template (an `int` value), yet surprisingly
it can also act as the template itself, and be re-instantiated. I'd expect the
expression `bar!2` to produce a compilation error.
