template Foo(X)
{
alias int Foo;
}
int m;
alias Foo!(m) XXX;
bug.d(7): Error: template instance Foo!(m) does not match template declaration Foo(X)
It should say something like, "m is not a type".

When no constraint is present indeed this could be an additional error message.
There's an helper for that in the compiler.
When there's a constraint this possibly new message should not be added since there's work to format them prettier.
