Failing to instantiate a template from a correctly-typed compile-time value:


struct Id { ushort value; }
enum Id x = Id(5);

struct S(ushort A) {}

// This works, as expected:
enum ushort someShortVal = 5;
alias CanCreateFromShort = S!(someShortVal);

// This works, as expected:
alias CanCreateFromTypedValue = S!(ushort(x.value));

static assert(is(typeof(x.value) == ushort));

// This surprisingly fails
alias CannotCreateFromValue = S!(x.value);
