Bug 15554 – typedef standard type can't be used with to! properly

Casting from a string to a custom Typedef type is more complicated than it should be. To should actually care about the underlying typedef-type, and recognize that it has to parse a string to a long value: alias QuestionId = Typedef!(long, long.init, "QuestionId"); QuestionId q = to!(TypedefType!QuestionId)("43"); // Compiles QuestionId q2 = to!QuestionId("43"); // Error..
