Constructor should check its qualifier as a switch to select construction strategy. It is described in TDPL, but it has not been yet implemented.

The combination of constructor and TemplateThisParameter would affect to that not-implemented feature. As a conclusion, its semantics is YET NOT DEFINED.

(Similar thing exists with "inout constructor". It is not also yet defined.)

Is there any change of this being fixed any time soon?

According to the online documentation it seems like it should work:

http://dlang.org/template.html#TemplateThisParameter states:

"TemplateThisParameters are used in member function templates to pick up the type of the this reference."

http://dlang.org/class.html states:

Classes consist of:
    ...
    * member functions
        ...
        * Constructors

I guess just post it to bugzilla.

I really really hope this gets fixed soon, because my project is stuck because of this.
