Noticed several typos that dmd seems to have not picked up

It depends on how you're invoking it.
In all likelihood, you had typos in uninstantiated templates.

I'm not sure how it works underneath the covers, but I'm not
currently working with a ton of templates explicitly. I am
utilizing interfaces and some generic container types, which I
guess might mean templates underneath. However, if an abstract
class with a generic parameter translates itself to a template
underneath the covers, I still would expect it to throw an error
if I have a clear syntax problem. If it's not, that's pretty
unacceptable actually for it not to.
