Is this fixed now?  I don't want to denigrate the work to get C++ compatibility and the GC improvements.  But, this is the biggest hurdle I have when introducing new people into D.   I'm a huge compile time reflection proponent, and having alias hack(T...) = T makes the code look very buggy to newcomers.

Please don't say "where is the PR?"  When I have time,  I will fix it.  The learning curve on the frontend is non-trivial and I'm not a talented C++ dev.   I will definitely dig in and get at that bug, as it's my biggest nit at the moment.

-S.

How about:

alias compiles(alias expr) = __traits(compiles, expr);

I guess supporting that may be problematic (it's too liberal), so I think we should have __compiles(expr) instead. It looks like a small saving, but in complex template code I'm sure it would be appreciated. I think all the other traits could be wrapped normally if $SUBJECT is implemented, but __traits(compiles, ...) is special.
