Mimicking Java's Type Erasure

Consider the following Java code.
--
import java.util.function.Function;
public class Main{
//basic Rank2 type
static interface Stringer{
<A> String show(Function<A,String> type, A that);
}
static class Say implements Stringer {
public <A> String show(Function<A,String> type, A that){
return type.apply(that);
}
}
static class Shout implements Stringer {
public <A> String show(Function<A,String> type, A that){
return type.apply(that) + "!!!";
}
}
}

This uses Java's generics' type erasure to create a basic rank 2
type.
What are some clean ways to implement something similar in D, in
a type safe manner if preferable?
