I think this is a good match for a gold collection of "awkward
mismatch of template alias vs normal alias". I am quite
surprised former template work actually, aliases are not
supposed to handle expressions at all. But magic of template
alias parameter turns expression into symbol and here we go.
I didn't know the B template would work... Is this correct
semantics according to the spec?
