Parameters declared as the alias of a template won't accept the arguments of the same type.

Thanks. This breaks a lot of things. I don't know the reason 
behind the postponing, but who would expect one can't declare a 
parameter with an alias if it's a template?! Speaking of 
inconsistency.
I'm sure there are bigger issues out there to be solved, but it's 
quite disencouraging if such a significant improvement(or rather 
fix) stays ignored.

I just recently started investing my spare time in D, rewriting 
something I wrote in C++, because the first look at D was really 
nice. I ran into quite a few problems and have questioned the 
design here and there. Fortunately (and unfortunately), this so 
far is the biggest issue I've run into.
For now, I think I'll keep doing what I have being doing, hoping 
D will suit my purpose. Then I can invest more.
