yeah, I tried that and got errors, I guess it works now. I still can't use the same class name as the alias though because I get a recursion error. It's not a huge deal but would be nicer to not have to mangle the class names to get it to work. The template stuff didn't work or I wasn't using it correctly.

What do you mean, 'mangle'? Using _ before the name?

It seems to me you can use the same name:

class A(T, bool condition)
{}

template A(T)
{
  alias A!(T, true) A;
}

void main()
{
    A!(int) a;
}
