Here's what I get (DMD 0.121, Windows):

bz599.d(7): template instance test2!(_param_0,_param_1,_param_2) does not match
any template declaration
bz599.d(7): Error: void has no value
bz599.d(7): Error: incompatible types for ((test2!(_param_0,_param_1,_param_2))
== (0)): 'void' and 'int'
bz599.d(11): template instance bz599.test!(int,char[1u],char) error
instantiating

The problem seems to be that it doesn't like a tuple as a template alias
parameter.  From what I can make out of the spec, it ought to work.

On second thoughts, it seems the problem is that test2!(t1) expands to
test2!(0, "a", 'a'), which is three parameters, whereas (alias s) is only one. 
Still, it ought to be possible to pass tuples as alias parameters.

Tuples are expanded before arguments are matched to parameters, so they cannot
be passed as alias parameters. This is by design.

If you need to allow someone to do this for your template, try this:

struct Tpack(T...)
{
  static alias T Tpl;
}

test2!(Tpack!(T))

template test2(alias s){
  alias s.Tpl[0] test2;
}

(Or some variate of that, I didn't test this but have made the trick work
before)
