I found std.meta.ApplyLeft but it doesn't seem to work here.
I've needed this before and ended up doing a workaround with a
template block and temporary alias but it might be nice if
Phobos had this. Or is there a simpler solution?
From std.meta:
---
/*
* Instantiates the given template with the given list of
parameters.

* Used to work around syntactic limitations of D with regard to
instantiating
* a template from an alias sequence (e.g. T[0]!(...) is not
valid) or a template
* returning another template (e.g. Foo!(Bar)!(Baz) is not
allowed).

alias Instantiate(alias Template, Params...) = Template!Params;
