Given the struct below, I want to construct an "S.Array[3]" array.
My first template solution, T, also doesn't compile.. Why?

struct S(int C, int R, E) {
     alias E[R][C] Array;

// This works though..
template U(T, A...) {
     alias T.Array[A.length+1 /+include+/] U;

unittest {
     alias S!(1,1,float) S1;
     alias U!(S1, S1) Arr; // I want float[1][1][2]

     static assert(Arr.length == 2); // ok
     writeln(typeid(Arr[0])); // float[1][1][2][0] ... shouldn't this be 
float[1][1][2]?
     writeln(typeid(typeof(Arr[0]))); // float[1][1] ... What happens here?
     writeln(typeid(S1.Array)); // float[1][1]
}

I think the error in T might be a bug. The following works:

template T2(A...) {
     alias A[0] First;
     alias First.Array[A.length] T;
}
writeln(typeid(Arr2.T)); // Now this actually prints float[1][1][2] as I 
wanted!
