/**
 * Defines `TemplateDeclaration`, `TemplateInstance` and a few utilities
 *
 * This modules holds the two main template types:
 * `TemplateDeclaration`, which is the user-provided declaration of a template,
 * and `TemplateInstance`, which is an instance of a `TemplateDeclaration`
 * with specific arguments.
 *
 * Template_Parameter:
 * Additionally, the classes for template parameters are defined in this module.
 * The base class, `TemplateParameter`, is inherited by:
 * - `TemplateTypeParameter`
 * - `TemplateThisParameter`
 * - `TemplateValueParameter`
 * - `TemplateAliasParameter`
 * - `TemplateTupleParameter`
 *
 * Templates_semantic:
 * The start of the template instantiation process looks like this:
 * - A `TypeInstance` or `TypeIdentifier` is encountered.
 *   `TypeInstance` have a bang (e.g. `Foo!(arg)`) while `TypeIdentifier` don't.
 * - A `TemplateInstance` is instantiated
 * - Semantic is run on the `TemplateInstance` (see `dmd.dsymbolsem`)
 * - The `TemplateInstance` search for its `TemplateDeclaration`,
 *   runs semantic on the template arguments and deduce the best match
 *   among the possible overloads.
 * - The `TemplateInstance` search for existing instances with the same
 *   arguments, and uses it if found.
 * - Otherwise, the rest of semantic is run on the `TemplateInstance`.
