Not necassarily.
You didn't quote everything that is relevant:

Probably not, but the error message suggests the problem might be in

Yes, necessarily.
But it would be a Phobos bug if the allocation cycle
is completely located within Phobos and the possibilty of such a cycle
is not mentioned in the docs.
Exactly.
An analog argument holds for every templated "library", that uses
templates out of phobos. But how can one know, whther the extension of
phobos with a self generated template builds a finite or semi-finite
allocation-loop or execution-loop?
The error message says
Error: template instance
std.functional.binaryFunImpl!(pred,parm1Name,parm2Name).Body!(dchar,string)
recursive expansion
Compare to:
template T1(int x){
alias T1!(x+1) T1;
}
template T2(int x){
alias T1!x T2;
}
void main(){
mixin T2!0;
}
Error: template instance tt.T1!(500) recursive expansion
I'll attempt to analyse what is going on in detail tonight.
