Almost, you "just" have to split it out into an alias:

template Foo(alias b)
{
 typeof(b) Foo() { return b; }
}

void main()
{
 int a = 2;
 float b = 3.25;

 mixin .Foo!(a) tempX;
 mixin .Foo!(b) tempY;

 alias tempX.Foo x;
 alias tempY.Foo y;

 assert(x() == 2);
 assert(y() == 3.25);
}

That works.  And is the ugliest thing ever.
