testtemp.d(7): basic type expected, not 1
Assertion failure: 't' on line 1577 in file 'parse.c'

enum FOO {
 ONE, TWO
}

template MissingBinding( FOO T : FOO.ONE ) {
 alias 1 the_value;
}


alias 1 the_value;

causes -- testtemp.d(2): basic type expected, not 1
why can't I alias a value ???

Alias is for symbols, not values. Use:
    const int the_value = 1;
