----------------------
// test1.d
import test2;
auto a = foo!1;
----------------------
// test2.d
template foo(int i)
{
    immutable foo = makeStruct(i); // A
    //immutable foo = MyStruct(i); // B
}

private MyStruct makeStruct(int i)
{
    return MyStruct(i);
}

struct MyStruct
{
    private this(int i) {}
}
----------------------

In test2.d, using the line marked "A" compiles successfully, but using the line
marked "B" results in:

Error: struct test2.MyStruct member this is not accessible

I don't know whether they're supposed to both succeed or both fail, but that
fact that one works and the other doesn't sounds like a compiler bug to me.
