Here's some interesting code another user has provided, with a reduced test-case:

-----
struct Templ(Args...)
{
}

struct WillWork(alias T)
    if (is(T : Templ!Args, Args...))
{
    static if (is(T : Templ!Args, Args...))
        alias A = Args[0];
    else
        static assert(0);
}

struct WontWork(alias T)
    if (is(T : Templ!Args, Args...))
{
    // Error: undefined identifier Args, did you mean alias T?
    alias A = Args[0];
}

void main()
{
    alias C = Templ!int;
    alias B = WillWork!C;
    B.A a;

    alias B2 = WontWork!C;  // ng
}
-----

Note how the 'WillWork' template has to redundantly duplicate the constraint into a static if condition. It would be simpler if the body of the template had access to the types which were extracted with the 'is' expression in the template constraint.

I can't think of any harm this would do, it would be beneficial. If the template is extracting the types like that, it probably wants something to do with those types in the template body.
