"Support for instantiating local and member templates with local symbols was implemented in DMD 2.087.0. However, the implementation was incompatible with GDC and LDC backends.

In order to maintain feature parity among D implementations, this improvement has been deprecated, and may be removed from a future DMD release."

Urgh, so sad this was deprecated. Is the implementation being redone at some point?
