Currently (DMD 2.058head) this kind of code is not allowed, but I think it's
handy to have (I suggest to require the () around the lambda template):


void main() {
    alias (x =>  x ^^ 2) sqrTemplate;
}



Timon Gehr reminds me that the semantics of that code is already available, just with a longer syntax:


template ID(alias a){alias a ID;}
void main(){
     alias ID!(x => x ^^ 2) sqrTemplate;
}
