Here's another way using ``` std.typecons ```

```d
import std.stdio;
import std.typecons;
alias input = Typedef!int; //new code
struct Field {
    void opAssign(int a) {
        writefln("Field.opAssign(%s)", a);
    }
}

struct Register {
    Field clock(input a) {
        writefln("Register.clock(%s)", cast(int)a); //note the 
cast
        return Field();
    }
}


void main() {
    input ip = 1;
    Register register;
    register.clock(ip) = 10; // works, good
    //register.clock = 10;    // works too, how to disable it?    
EDIT: Now it doesn't work :)
}

You will have to either cast your literal, or provide a variable 
with the new type as input though,  so it is also not perfect.
