Fix that alows local symbols to be used as parameters to non-global template functions reverted

A heads-up for those of you who have started to rely on this fix in DMD: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/9702 https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5710 A workaround is to use static template functions with UFCS instead of member template functions. (Without this fix, any member template function with an alias parameter is a code smell.)

Is there any (even long-term) plan to address this again (other than the workaround)?
