Given

alias GLenum = uint;

Now, is there some way to differentiate between GLenum and uint when
using ParameterTypeTuple!glSomeFunction?

I'm writing a function which shows the arguments a GL function was
called with when an error occurs. The GLenum needs to be printed as a
stringified version of the constant's name, while the uint is just an uint.

Apparently this is deprecated even though alias cannot replicate it.

typedef uint GLenum;
writeln(GLenum.stringof);
