digitalmars.D.learn - Can't create immutable type in template

reply "Nick Gurrola" <ngurrola17 gmail.com> writes:
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
	writeln(typeid(Test!int));
}

template Test(T...)
{
	alias immutable(T[0]) Test;
}


This prints "int" instead of "immutable(int)" like I would 
expect. Is this a bug, or is that what is supposed to happen?

It looks like a bug to me.

This is a known issue.

The bug report also contains a simple workaround.
