Seems to be a problem in ApplyLeft:

import std.meta: AliasSeq, ApplyLeft;
alias addType(T, string name) = AliasSeq!(T, name);
alias addTypeInt = ApplyLeft!(addType, int);
alias FullyInstantiated = addTypeInt!"foo";

Fails with: "std/meta.d(1114): Error: cannot interpret int at compile time".

I've filed an issue:

Thanks! I've worked around it for now with some recursion :)

Using `is(...)` with an AliasSeq of only types is ok. But you can't use it when there's a non-type in the sequence.

That makes sense.

Thanks for the help, Edwin
