I was trying to match template instantiation using is() (i.e. is(T == S!R, S, R...)). But this doesn't work if T is a template. Reading the code of TemplateOf, I realized I have to use template constraints for that. Maybe we can add support for something like is(alias T == ...)?

One thing I didn't bother with is disambiguation - if B exists in modules foo and bar, the above will not specify which foo it's referring to. This is left as an exercise for the reader. -- Simen
