Add totype as a __trait: --- __trait ( totype, AssignExpression ) --- AssignExpression is evaluated at compile time, and the result must be a string. The string must be a sequence of characters representing the mangling of an existing type. The __trait then represents that type. For example: --- pragma(msg, 1.mangleof); // prints `i` __traits(totype, "i") x; // declares `x` as having type `int` __traits(totype, "Pi") p; // declares `p` as having type `int*` __traits(totype, 3) y; // error: `3` is not a string __traits(totype, "#Hello") z; // error: `#Hello` is not a recognized mangling of a type --- Earlier work: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/11797
