I'm trolling my Blizzard colleagues by trying to get them interested in D...
but the quality bar needs to be a LOT higher here to be convincing compared to
my former workplaces.

Indeed, I am aware of the workaround, but that doesn't make the problem any
better.
People don't expect to have to wrap a thing in an Alias!() statement for no
logical reason... so it's just a gotcha that looks bad to new users (case in
question).

It can be trivially worked around by wrapping the __traits expression in a
std.meta.Alias, but I don't understand why that should be necessary. Certainly,
it seems like it shouldn't be necessary.
