Hey everyone, I'm new to D so bare with me please. I've been trying to figure out what's up with the strange forward refernce errors the compiler (DMD 2.060) is giving me. Here's a code snippet that's generating a forward reference error:

public class AliasTestClass(alias func)
{
        
        static assert(__traits(isStaticFunction, func));
                
}

public class TestClass
{
        
        private AliasTestClass!(randomFunction) test; // <-----
                
        public static void randomFunction()
        {
        }
        
}

The strange part about it is that if I surround the randomFunction parameter with another pair of paranthesis like so

private AliasTestClass!((randomFunction)) test;

It works just fine. If I don't, however, I get a forward reference error: "Error: template instance main.AliasTestClass!(randomFunction) forward reference of randomFunction"

Am I doing anything wrong or is this some kind of bug?
