           Summary: Too many error messages with failed template
                    constraint
           Product: D
           Version: D2

This is a wrong D2 program:


struct Foo {}
class Bar(T) if (!is(T == struct)) {}
void main() {
    auto b = new Bar!Foo();
}


DMD 2.049 shows the following compile errors:

test.d(4): Error: template instance Bar!(Foo) does not match template
declaration Bar(T) if (!is(T == struct))
test.d(4): Error: Bar!(Foo) is used as a type
test.d(4): Error: new can only create structs, dynamic arrays or class objects,
not void's


But minimizing error messages noise is good to speed up debugging and to make coding simpler. So in this case I'd like to receive only the first error message.

Nothing to with templates. Same thing happens with:

struct Foo {}
class Bar(int n)
void main() {
    auto b = new Bar!Foo();
}
