Actually template overloading seems to work fine:

template staticArray(T) {
     T[n] staticArray(ulong n) (auto ref T[n] a) {return a;}
}

T[n] staticArray(T, ulong n) (auto ref T[n] a) {return a;}

void main(){
     auto a = [1,2,3].staticArray!float;
     pragma(msg, typeof(a)); // float[3]
     a.writeln();
     [1,2,3].staticArray.writeln();
}
