A syntax like x.typeof can be considered.

There are situations where you will need to parenthesize anyway, like:

import std.stdio;
void main() {
    int x = 1;
    float y = 1.5;
    writeln(typeid(typeof(x + y)));
}


You will have to write:
(x + y).typeof


But in many situations with this change you will be able to avoid the ().

This syntax is more similar/uniform to the x.sizeof syntax too (that is
sizeof(x) in C).
