In some cases I have to tell apart different Typedefs using the cookie, but I
don't need to specify a different init value:

alias Meters = Typedef!(double, "Meters");
alias Liters = Typedef!(double, "Liters");


For such cases I suggest to replace this part of the std.typecons module:


/**
Library typedef.
 */
template Typedef(T)
{
    alias .Typedef!(T, T.init) Typedef;
}



With two (shorter) aliases:


/// Library typedef.
alias Typedef(T) = .Typedef!(T, T.init);

/// ditto
alias Typedef(T, string cookie=null) = .Typedef!(T, T.init, cookie);
