That just pushes the problem back one level:

     anySatisfy!(isSomeString, typeof(AliasSeq!(i"I have ${count} 
applies")))

Or, more realistically:

     template someTemplate(Args...) {
         static if (anySatisfy!(isSomeString, typeof(Args)) {
             // ...
         }
     }

     someTemplate!(i"I have ${count} apples")
