Wow, I didn't know this.
In this case, the simplest solution is to have your code
generator accept a string as its input, rather than a type. For
example:
```d
enum instantiate(string type, string expr) = type ~ "(" ~ expr
~ ")";
pragma(msg, instantiate!("RVector!(SEXPTYPE.REALSXP)", "x"));
```
Well the code needs to be responsive from parameter types `T`
generated from other code. I'm allowing the user to create
functions select those they wish to access in R by UDA decorators
in the D script which I then filter for and wrap the necessary
functions generating any type conversion code I need at compile
time to create functions callable in R.
