It is slightly different than my old code: the getPlainName helper function
is not required with the __trait. (It truncated the string at the first
paren, since stringof returns the arguments too, whereas identifier does
not).

I think it would be a good idea to get a nice overview doc written up on
template idioms - things like this, how to use the isSomeString, etc,
templates in std.traits to work the constraints, and so on.

Another one in pretty.d I hit was taking a ParameterTypeTuple and using it
to expand the runtime args array. At first, I used a list of static if
T.length == 1, and manually written it out. Today, I changed it to a CTFE
function returning a string to mix on, which sucks less, but still feels
weird.

Having a nice overview document would be good to save time and make this
kind of code prettier. Maybe I'll write one to get started then post it to
the group for additions and improvements. Don't have the time today though.
