C++ works fine here:


main.cc:
----------
template<class T, int D>
class A {
};

template <class T>
using B = A<T, 1>;

template <class T>
void fun(B<T> a) { }

void test(){
  A<double,1>a;
  fun(a);
}

I can use a workaround but it makes the code uglier. What's the recommended
way around this?
Could we support this as in C++?
