Given program (dmd 2.013):

void foo(T)() {
    pragma(msg, T.stringof);
}

void main() {
    foo!(bar)();
}

I would expect the compiler to report an error about the unknown identifier,
bar. Instead the program is accepted and the compiler prints "int". Is this a
bug or is there a way to make it give an error?

That looks like a bug. (1.029 reports an error, so it's only in the D2 
branch)

Please report it at http://d.puremagic.com/issues/
