It would be nice to be able to do something like this:

template Test(T) { int T; }
template Test(const T) { const int T; }

alias Test!(int) testDyn;
alias Test!(10) testConst;

At the moment the only work around I can think of is something like this:

struct intD { int x; } //Dynamic
struct intC { const int x = 10; } //Static

template Test(T) { int T; }

alias Test!(intD) testDyn;
alias Test!(intC) testConst;

It would be particularly useful for things like templated structs because you would be able to have things staticly compiled which would save memory and improve performace.  I could see something like this being used for Matthews proposed ranges.
