% cat traits.d
template staticIndexOf(T)

    enum staticIndexOf = genericIndexOf!T;
}

template genericIndexOf(args...)
{
    alias e     = args;
    alias tuple = args;
    alias tail = tuple;

static if (staticIndexOf!X)

% cat generator.d 
unittest
{
    import traits;
}
% dmd -unittest generator.d
traits.d(16): Error: basic type expected, not ;
traits.d(20): Error: declaration expected following attribute, not EOF
