explicit generic instantiation accepts value when type is expected

explicit template instantiation accepts value when type is expected

Example

type A[T] = object # ditto with A[T: string]
let a1 = A[string]() # ok
let a2 = A["abc"]() # should not compile
static: doAssert type(a1) is type(a2)

type B[T: static string] = object
let b2 = B["abc"]() # ok

Current Output

compiles

Expected Output

CT error: expected type, got value

Additional Information

latest devel f22d3c7

[metagn]

type A[T] = object
let a2 = A["abc"]()

No reason this shouldn't compile.

# ditto with A[T: string]

This is a bug. Keywords for search: generic parameter type constraint

Also, generics are mistakenly referred to as templates again.
