Hello,

We have discovered a possible bug which does not allow access of private  declared members in the same module when using template classes.

In the next example the class "Baz" works fine. If we take the same thing however, and make a template class of it "Bar", the compiler fails to compile, complaining about Bar.doSomething() being private.

According to the D-specs it should be accessible in the same module?

<code>
class Bar(Type)
{
    this()
    {
    }

    private void doSomething()
    {
    }
}

class Baz
{
    this()
    {
    }

    private void doSomething()
    {
    }
}

void main()
{
    //this is ok
    Baz a = new Baz();
    a.doSomething();

    //this fails
    Bar!(int) b = new Bar!(int)();
    b.doSomething();
}
</code>
