I get weird behavior if I put in only the alias definitions.

This stuct version compiles, and it probably should because sA and sB are empty
with no circular referencing.

struct sA()
{
    alias sC!() sC1;
}
struct sB
{
    alias  sA!() sA1;
}
struct sC() 
{
    sB s;
}

But adding sA1 into sB will not compile, but I think it should compile because
sA is empty and there's no circular reference back to sC.

struct sA()
{
    alias sC!() sC1;
}
struct sB
{
    alias  sA!() sA1;
    sA1 a;
}
struct sC() 
{
    sB b;
}

In fact it does compile in the non-template version as expected. 

struct sA
{
    alias sC sC1;
}
struct sB
{
    alias  sA sA1;
    sA1 a;
}
struct sC() 
{
    sB b;
}

Finally, closing the loop will not compile as expected

struct sA
{
    alias sC sC1;
    sC1 c; // bang, we're dead.
}
struct sB
{
    alias  sA sA1;
    sA1 a;
}
struct sC() 
{
    sB b;
}

Templates and non-templates are being evaluated inconsistently, so there's
definitely a bug in there somewhere.
