I wouldn't necessarily trust the output of .stringof; it's known to be buggy
in a lot of cases. See if you can get the compiler to spit out an error
containing the type, i.e.
void blah(T)()
{
SOME_INVALID_FUNCTION();
}
...
blah!(PCHAR)();
This should make the compiler spit out some kind of error with the name of
the instantiated blah, type included.
