(from my previous post:

Is that a bug?

The code below returns:

"main.A!(double).A"

if we uncomment "auto c=make!A(1.0);", we get:

"main.a!(double).A"

----
module main;
import std.stdio;
class A(T){
    T x;
    this(T x){this.x=x;}
}
auto make(alias a,T...)(T args){
    return new a!T(args);
}
void main(){
    //auto c=make!A(1.0);
    auto b=new A!double(1.0);
    writeln(typeid(b));
}
----

If this behavior is not a bug, I wonder what's the rationale, but also, how can
we have such a "make" function that doesn't mess up the template class name
depending on the order of which is used first (the make!T variant or the new
A!T) ?
