           Summary: Local variable as template alias parameter breaks CTFE

           Version: 2.003
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: rejects-valid
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

The following code fails to compile with error, "cannot evaluate generate() at
compile time." This error is stopped by declaring x in global scope.

void main()
{
    int x;
    const string text = Gen!(x).generate();
}

template Gen(alias A)
{
    string generate()
    {
        return null;
    }
}
