Description

Created attachment 1237
Small example that illustrates the problem

Consider a constructor call of the form

  A a = A!3(99);

where A is a struct that is not a template but has a constructor that is a
template, such as

  this( int k)(int n) { ... }

Such a constructor call is not recognized as such, instead the compiler
complains that the struct A is not a template.

---confirmed on Windows and Ubuntu amd64.
