No. D doesn't have something like C++'s ADL where the template
arguments lead to additional names being introduced into the
scope of the template body. This is by design.
I mean the
error starts with A.func!(Foo) error instantiating.
Sorry, I don't quite get what you mean here. The error is just a
follow-up to the previous one, as the inability to look up Foo
caused an error while instantiating that template.
Not as easy to fix this as I have a library that generates me
sqlite
code at compile time which I than mixin to have as good as
handwritten
code. I just found it odd that it works if I instantiate the
template
from the same module.
Maybe you can elaborate a bit on how the problem occurs in that
context? As I said, I've found that usually it is possible to
come up with a design at least as pretty (or even prettier) but
doesn't rely on stringof trickery if one just stares at the
problem long enough. ;)
