I think I may have answered my own question. It seems
std.typecon provides a facility for this.

Is this the 'right' way to do things? It seems that Proxy is
used as a mixin whereas Typedef is used to create standalone
types.
If memory serves me, Typedef was created to regain this exact
feature after "typedef" was deprecated. "typedef" did this while
its replacement, "alias", did not and the realization that we had
lost that capability led to the creation of Typedef.
