           Summary: Forward reference in returning superclass from
                    template using is() expression (Breaks
                    std.traits.BaseTypeTuple)

Test case:

------------------------
template J(A) {
    static if (is(A P == super))
        alias P J;
}

alias J!(A) Z;

class X {}
class A : X {}
------------------------
y.d(6): Error: forward reference to '(in X)'
------------------------

The template J is basically std.traits.BaseTypeTuple. Because of this bug, any
use of BaseTypeTuple!A before A is defined (not just X) will result in a
forward-reference bug.
