(I think there is a typo above, shouldn't it be alias a(T) = b!(T,  
known_type) ? )

You mean you would no longer need the surrounding template declaration?

i.e. the above (corrected) statement would be short for:

template a(T)
{
    alias a = b!(T, known_type);
}

That would be certainly very un-evil ;)
