You could pack them like so.
float4 vec = loadUnaligned!float4(ptrToFloats);
float4 vec = loadAligned!float4(ptrToFloats);

The wrappers are only necessary because DMD/GDC/ldc have 
different SIMD implementations. Would be great if someone wrote a 
common basis library, unfortunately Manu's std.simd got stuck in 
progress.

D doesn't have macros and can't force inline, to inline w/o 
inliner you could use mixin templates, but relying on the inliner 
to do it's job would be cleaner.
