The following code does not compile:
> void main() {}
>
> class SuperClass {}
>
> class TemplatedClass(T : SuperClass) {}
>
> class A : SuperClass {
> alias T = TemplatedClass!B;
> }
>
> class B : SuperClass {
> alias T = TemplatedClass!C;
> }
>
> class C : SuperClass {}
It gives the error:
> test.d(12): Error: class `test.TemplatedClass(T : SuperClass)`
> recursive template expansion
> test.d(12): while looking for match for
> TemplatedClass!(C)
The aliases do not have to be aliases, as long as there is some
reference to the class (e.g. method and variable declarations
also work). What exactly is the reason for this error?
