All though Don's patch exposed the problem, it is not a bug in Don's patch. The 
problem, as I explained in

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=7815

is, once again, a circular eponymous template expansion, where the compiler 
cannot figure out if it is eponymous or not because the static if adds members, 
but the static if depends on the members already being there.

So, I think it is a problem with the example, not the compiler. Though the error 
message is *terrible*, I will try to fix that.
