Hello,

I'm looking for a catchy phrase denoting this D idiom:

template Blah(Stuff)
{
    alias ... Blah;
}

i.e., defining inside a template a symbol of the same name as the template itself. Then you can use Blah!(X, Y) to mean Blah!(X, Y).Blah.

What would be a catchy, descriptive, and memorable phrase for this?

Thanks,

Andrei

maybe parametrized alias

That sounds good but (I'm saying this to all others who focused on "alias") - the inner name doesn't have to be an alias.
