This will not compile if the commented line is uncommented.

=========================
class Foo(T)
{
    void Bar( Foo!(int) a) {}
}
//alias Foo!(real) dFoo;  // Must be a comment to compile.

========================

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Should be void Bar( .Foo!(int) a) {}


 }

Thanks. This is not obvious so it should be documented officially. Plus the
reason for it too, 'cos I'm still not sure why. But it works now.

No it isn't. I don't think that there is anyone who didn't make that 
mistake. The thing is it is ind the documentation in 
http://www.digitalmars.com/d/template.html, where it says that templates 
have their own scope + in that recursive templates example.

and the odd thing is, it doesn't seem to be necessary for that example!
At least, in DMD 0.138, it worked if you left out the dot.
Seems to be necessary again in DMD 0.140, where the behaviour is much 
more predictable.

Between .138 and .140, I'd take whatever .140 does as the Canonical out 
of those two.
