The error:  Error: template instance `MyClass!(MyEnum)` does not 
match template declaration `MyClass(MyEnum myEnum)`
pops up, no matter what I do.
I'm quite puzzled actually

You are just having a little issue with operator precedence 
there. Your code attempts to get the member `A` from 
`MyClass!MyEnum`, if you add braces around it, it'll work just 
fine `MyClass!(MyEnum.A)`.

That's really funny acutally.
It works. Thank you!

You wrote:

 MyClass!MyEnum.A a;

Which is equivalent to

 MyClass!(MyEnum).A a;

What you want is

MyClass!(MyEnum.A) a;
