Question 1: Is this the correct behavior? I'd have expected that if my alias is
public, it would allow any one from outside to make the call correctly.

Question 2: Is there a "correct" way to do this? I possible, I'd want to avoid
"nesting" the template, eg:
auto fun(){return Impl!int();}
As that would:
a) require more typing ^^
b) incur an extra function call in non-inline
c) if at all possible, I actually need "fun" to be a template, so that it can be
inlined.
Indeed, I used that workaround of manually nesting the functions in some code of
mine:
https://github.com/WebDrake/Dgraph/blob/master/dgraph/graph.d#L492-L516
... but that's not a general solution, I was able to tolerate it because it's a
limited and predictable set of instructions.
Jacob Carlborg suggested using opDispatch (cf. how it's done in Proxy), which
should automate the "nesting" of template functions. I avoided it simply
because in my case I thought that doing it manually would be less hassle than
getting opDispatch set up to cover every possible case, but depending on your
use case it might be the better option.
