string str = "aaaaa";
writefln(parse!(char)(str));
--
Result:
conv.d(650): static assert "Dunno how to parse a char"
---
Should work for generic code.

Types which should at least be handled:
- char, wchar, dchar
- cfloat, cdouble, creal
- ifloat, idouble, ireal
Probably also (with default behaviour e.g. bool -> "true" -> true, "false" -> false):
- bool
- string, wstring, dstring

I initially thought that more types are covered by parse, but find out after looking at code that it works only for integral and real types.
So at least documentation should be improved.
