I actually meant declaration inside template definitions as in your example:

class WeakReferenced(T)
{
   export __gshared WeakReferenced!T[] m_weakTable;
}

The proposal was that

export alias WeakReferenced!int exported_weak_int_array;

would only export the symbol for m_weakTable, not any other class 
symbols like the class info.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea, I'm just exploring possibilities here.
