Yes, it does not exists in the module but func is a template and I was
under the impression symbols would be seen when instantiated. I mean the
error starts with A.func!(Foo) error instantiating.

Not as easy to fix this as I have a library that generates me sqlite
code at compile time which I than mixin to have as good as handwritten
code. I just found it odd that it works if I instantiate the template
from the same module.
