How about a new property for class and struct like `.stringof` to 
get the fully qualified name?

I know the `fullyQualifiedName` can do this. If a new property 
like `.qualifiedName` added to class and struct, the code blown:

      Middleware(fullyQualifiedName!(IpFilterMiddleware), 
fullyQualifiedName!(BasicAuthMiddleware))
      Action string security() {
         return "It's a security page.";
     }

may be changed as：

      Middleware(IpFilterMiddleware.qualifiedName, 
BasicAuthMiddleware.qualifiedName)
      Action string security() {
         return "It's a security page.";
     }

It looks better, does it？

I would prefer we offered UFCS to work on types instead. This would give 
the same syntax as you wanted and it is not specific to the use case.

It's not so easy to do that.
type function do attempt that and indeed with my WIP type 
function extension you could do a fullyQualifiedName 
type-function which, (because type functions are regular 
functions) is callable with UFCS. (And it avoids the template 
instance overhead.)

Note that you can also make an alias for fullyQualifiedName:

import fqn = std.traits: fullyQualifiedName;

There is a second reason for wanting it, which is that the 
fullyQualified name template is rather expensive to instantiate.
