          Issue ID: 13379
           Summary: Latest dmd fails with recursive template expansion in
                    std.regex
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: regression
          Priority: P1
         Component: DMD
          Assignee: nobody puremagic.com
          Reporter: hsteoh quickfur.ath.cx

Test case (use Phobos git HEAD to reproduce):
------
void main()
{
    import std.regex : match;
    "".match("");
}
------

Compiler output:
------
/usr/src/d/phobos/std/algorithm.d(7168): Error: template instance
std.algorithm.MinType!(uint, uint) recursive expansion
------

git bisect reveals that the offending commit in dmd is:

from gagged one to elide unnecessary symbol emission
