So the following code doesn't compile for some reason, and I can't figure out why.

enum MyEnum { A, B, C }

class MyClass(MyEnum myEnum)
{
    /*...*/
}

int main()
{
	MyClass!MyEnum.A a;
}

The error:  Error: template instance `MyClass!(MyEnum)` does not match template declaration `MyClass(MyEnum myEnum)`
pops up, no matter what I do.
I'm quite puzzled actually

You are just having a little issue with operator precedence there. Your code attempts to get the member `A` from `MyClass!MyEnum`, if you add braces around it, it'll work just fine `MyClass!(MyEnum.A)`.

You wrote:

> MyClass!MyEnum.A a;

Which is equivalent to

> MyClass!(MyEnum).A a;

What you want is

MyClass!(MyEnum.A) a;

That's really funny acutally.
It works. Thank you!
