Assuming you use DCD, even if CTFE is not handled it would be 
possible to detect the signature and to do with "from" what's 
usually done with an import.
But it needs to be in a well defined module. You can open an 
issue in the repository asking for this and the feature will be 
added once the D-runtime PR merged.
