There is some inconsistency between templates and template functions as this works as I want to:
Yeah, functions have the special feature of implicit instantiation from the function arguments. No other template do, if you want an instance there, you need to specify it as a !(). And since functions can't return aliases to types you can't use that to get around it. There's no way to do what you want to do, you either need to write the !() or use a different alias name.
