Newish to D, so bare with me~

I have a few questions surrounding Class Templates and the like if 
anyone has time.

After reading the two pages on templates (lex, and revisited) I haven't 
seen anything regarding interfaces being templated like classes. However 
it doesn't produce a lexical error :

public interface H(T){
    T another();
}
public class A(T) : H!(T)
{
    T t;
    T another(){return t;}
    void curious(){}
}


can remove casting on my interface declarations.
However, when I do this :
  alias A!(int) a;
  assert(a.another()==0);

I get the following error : Error: need 'this' to access member another.

So, is there a way where I can template interfaces as I do classes to 
give a per type based interfaces to the classes?

Further on...

How do I get the A class instantiated? Is that possible with templated 
classes?

public class A(T)
{
	T t;
    	this(){}
}

  alias A!(int) a;
  a b = new a(); // doesn't work
  A! b = new A!(int)();// doesnt either?

  Am I wrong to think that I can use and approach class templates as if 

  Or am I going about it the wrong way?

"a" is a type, not an instance:

If the above code is at module level it will fail due to "new ..." being
a non-constant expression:

You almost had it right, but made a couple of minor coding mistakes.

 public interface H(T){

 public class A(T) : H!(T)
 {
    T t;
    T another(){return t;}
    void curious(){}
 }
 
  alias A!(int) a;
  assert(a.another()==0);

In this code, "a" is a type not an object. I changed it to:
   alias A!(int) a;
   a aObject = new a;
   assert(aObject.another()==0);

 public class A(T)
 {
     T t;
        this(){}
 }
 
  alias A!(int) a;
  a b = new a(); // doesn't work
  A! b = new A!(int)();// doesnt either?

The last line is incorrect. I changed it to:
   A!(int) b2 = new A!(int)();

Hope that helps.
