digitalmars.D.learn - Can I infer the type from this?
I'd like to pass a symbol as paramater (class static member0 and at same time get the type of this, something like this: template myTemp(alias s) { enum myTemp = templateFunction!(??)(s.stringof); } the templateFunction has this signature: int templateFunction(T)(string targetMembername) but I don't how to get the type name from the give symbol name in myTemp. Can I make this work?

However, I tried these cases, and typeof yields something reasonable then. In particular, it still did compile and yields something which could be checked against...
