So it had to be properly defined in the spec and implemented. Meanwhile we're fighting with the Phobos Typedef and it has way more problems right now, some of which will likely be unsolvable.

I don't even see how Issue 4636 can even be fixed, there's no way for a template in another module to get private access to the class constructor. --- Anyway, we've deprecated old keywords, and introduced half-implemented library replacements. I don't see how we stand any better today than we did before.
