Is there a way to convert a string to a struct, similarly to

conversion of a struct to a custom string representation ?
The following code works fine when using format("%s",C) or
to!string(C):
struct sCustomConv
{
string toString()
{
return "My custom representation";
}
}
sCustomConv C;
string MyBackup = to!string(C);
But I can't find which class operator must be overloaded (or
more
simply how-to) to make this possible:
C = to!sCustomConv(MyBackup);

There was a request for enhancement to provide a "fromString" for
arbitrary types. The idea is that once we have that, then
functions such as parse or to!S(string) will be generic, and work
on mostly anything. Unfortunatly, (AFAIK), nobody is working on
this.
Here is a discussion I opened:

...and I just noticed it ends with me saying "I'll try to write a
DIP then :)" and then not doing it :/
