Write (or generate) a helper function that loops over the 
Parameters!Func tuple and populates it from the strings. Call the 
helper function.


// declare your arguments tuple
Parameters!Func args;

// populate the arguments
foreach(idx, ref arg; args) {
    arg = to!(typeof(arg))(string_args[idx]);
}

Func(args); // call the function with that tuple

more in-depth example near the end of it.
