Yeah, the eponymous template syntax is confusing. Something like

   template enum hasMember(T, string name) = __traits(hasMember, T, name);

would be more intuitive, but i'm not sure yet if it would also work for
more complex cases. Together with a new alias syntax it could make 

   template alias ID(A...) = A;

etc possible.
