Part of why I did it this way was the annoyance that I can't do a 
variadic template in an interface. I'd REALLY prefer to do it 
that way so there wouldn't be a list of types at all - just plain 
to!string(foo).

The actual line in the program is a little longer too more like 
this:

if(arg == typeid(string) || arg == typeid(immutable(string)) || 
arg == typeid(const(string)))

It annoyed me that there's so many different typeids even though 
it really doesn't matter for me here. But oh well, I got this 
code to a point where it works (with a few practices I keep in 
mind) and now I generally don't think about it anymore.
