Implicit conversion from 'Ok' to 'Result' type when returning functions

Hi,
I was reading a bit about this in Rust, and their enum type. I
was wondering if this is replicate-able in D. What I've got right
now is rather clunky, and involves using
`typeof(return).ok` and `typeof(return).error)`.
While that's not too bad, it does involve a lot more typing, and
thus more area for human error.
If you're not familiar with the Result and Option types, it
allows you to do something like this:
---
Result!(string, ErrorEnum) someFunction(...)
{
return Ok("Hello!");
}
Result!(string, ErrorEnum) someFunction2(...)
{
return Error(ErrorEnum.dummyError);
}
---
I'm not entirely sure it's possible... but I figured I might give
it a try.
