           Summary: Passing a .stringof of an expression as a template value
                    parameter results in the string of the type
           Product: D
           Version: 1.012
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: wrong-code
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: DMD
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: deewiant at gmail.com


(Set version as 1.012, since 1.013 wasn't in the list yet.)

template T(char[] s) {
        const char[] T = s;
}

char[] f(char[] s) {
        return s;
}

void main() {
        int foo;
        assert (foo.stringof == f(foo.stringof));  // works
        assert (foo.stringof == T!(foo.stringof)); // fails
}

T!(foo.stringof) results in "int", it should be "foo".
