Templates everywhere

I started with a basic comfort with templates and generalizing code, but have taken things farther with D. I recently started ripping some templates out because my code was getting ugly. What I'm currently wishing for is templated modules...

module foo(T,U,V);
class bar // Implicit (T,U,V)
{
}

module x;
import foo!(T,U,V) 
bar b; // Not messier  bar!(T,U,V) b

It's a small bit of syntactic sugar, but for certain constructs, it can make a world of difference. I wonder if others would also want that.
