How about:

alias compiles(alias expr) = __traits(compiles, expr);

I guess supporting that may be problematic (it's too liberal), so I 
think we should have __compiles(expr) instead. It looks like a small 
saving, but in complex template code I'm sure it would be appreciated. I 
think all the other traits could be wrapped normally if $SUBJECT is 
implemented, but __traits(compiles, ...) is special.

alias foo = __traits(...)

Is this fixed now?  I don't want to denigrate the work to get C++ 
compatibility and the GC improvements.  But, this is the biggest hurdle 
I have when introducing new people into D.   I'm a huge compile time 
reflection proponent, and having alias hack(T...) = T makes the code 
look very buggy to newcomers.


Please don't say where is the PR?  When I have time,  I will fix it.  
The learning curve on the frontend is non-trivial and I'm not a 
talented C++ dev.   I will definitely dig in and get at that bug, as 
it's my biggest nit at the moment.


-S.
