I was playing around with some collections ideas, and ended up with essentially
the following:

class TFoo(T) {
this() {}
this(TFoo!(T) tf) {}     // this is the problem line
}

int main() {
alias TFoo!(Object) x;
x a = new x();
return 0;
}

The error I got was "template instance TFoo!(int) TFoo is not a template
declaration"
Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not supported yet?

(What i _really_ wanted was 
this(TFoo!(S : T) tf) {}
to allow more complete but still typesafe copying into a collection, but this
would be too clumsy to use without type deduction.)

Thanks,

this(.TFoo!(T) tf) {}
also works, and lets you specify the type... I wonder how you would do if if you
needed to specify, say, TFoo!(Object) and the template wasn't at the top level?
