Probably it would just work.

On the other hand, if you had this:

T manipulate(T)(T value) { ... }
MyObject foo;
manipulate(foo). // IDE dies here

The compiler wouldn't have completion on the line of code you're 
currently editing, since it's a syntax error. The IDE won't know 
anything about D and so can't determine what the return type of 
manipulate() is.
