Nope, you have to do it explicitly.
f(data("hello"));

I kinda wish D did have this. The mistake C++ made was having
the implicit conversions be the default, not having it be an
option. But it isn't in and as far as I know, there are no
plans to add it either.
Disappointing. It could be kept decoupled from constructors and
assignment defined conversions by having an analogue of opAssign
that's solely for argument passing.
