Why do I need extra parentheses to get template.sizeof?

class A(T){
  T x;
};

int y = (A!(int)).sizeof;
int z = A!(char).sizeof; // does not compile (line 6)

hello.d(6): Error: undefined identifier class A.sizeof
hello.d(6): Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (class A.sizeof) of type void to int

keep in mind that class Name(args) is actually just shorthand for

template A(T){
  class A{
    T x;
  }
}

A!(int) -> A!(int).A
A!(int).sizeof -> A!(int).sizeof // doesn't exits

That makes sense.  Thanks.
