It seems to be the alias on the last line that kills it.

This doesn't seem valid.  I thought you could only use implicit template 
properties if there was only one member of the template?  Does changing the 
line to A!().A B; work?

From spec:
If a template has exactly one member in it, and the name of that member is 
the same as the template name, that member is assumed to be referred to in a 
template instantiation:

template Foo(T)
{
    T Foo;	// declare variable Foo of type T
}

void test()
{
    Foo!(int) = 6;	// instead of Foo!(int).Foo
}

Nope. Exact same error.

Well gosh. Until now, I've always found it works just fine even if the
template has multiple members in it. But I'll watch out for that in
the future.
