I am pretty sure it is related. Current DMD logic for emitting 
template symbols is very naive and feels more like a hack that 
has several consequences in variety of cases. I am trying to 
create a more capable solution but have not been doing any dmd 
development before and this may take an eternity. Would be really 
glad to see some experienced dmd dev comment on topic.
