           Summary: Templates inside templates used as mixins
           Product: D

The following should work I believe, but apparently the type from the outer
template does not get propagated to the inner template.
It does work if the 'T' line is removed.

----
template ATemplate(T) {
   template ATemplate() {
       void foo() {
           T x = 2; // this line causes an error
           printf("Hi\n");
       }
   }
}

class TheClass(alias MixIt)
{
    mixin MixIt;
}


void main() {
    auto val = new TheClass!(ATemplate!(int));
    val.foo();

}

Addendum - At least for my purposes, it turns out this can be handled by using templated static structs instead of mixins:

struct ATemplate(T) {
static:
   T svar = 99;
   void foo() {
       T x = 2; // this line causes an error
       printf("Hi\n");
   }
}

class TheClass(MixIt)
{
    MixIt mix;
}


void main() {
    auto val = new TheClass!(ATemplate!(int));
    val.mix.foo();
}


----

This isn't holding me up in any way now, so downgrading to minor.
