is(typeof(...)) vs __traits(compiles, ...)

Currently this code does not compiles:
```
unittest
{
class MyClass
{
T opCall(T)(T p)
{
return p;
}
}
import std.container.array : Array;
Array!MyClass arr;
}
```
but if you comment out `opCall` in MyClass this code compiles. This is
caused by this in std.conv(4434):
```
static if (is(typeof(chunk = T(args))))
chunk = T(args);
```
The reason is that `is(typeof(chunk = T(args)))` returns true but does
not compiles becase MyClass has `opCall`, compiler calls `opCall` but it
needs `this` pointer that is unavailable. I replaced it by
```
static if (__traits(compiles, chunk = T(args)))
chunk = T(args);
```
it works but I'm not sure this good solution. The question is -
shouldn't `typeof` return false in this case? if so then the right fix
would be fix typeof.
