Any case. I tried this:

------------------------------------------
module test;

import std.stdio;

struct Foo { }

enum Enum { RED }

typedef int myint;

void main()
{
    writefln((1+2).stringof);       // "1 + 2"
    writefln(Foo.stringof);         // "Foo"
    writefln(test.Foo.stringof);    // "test.Foo"
    writefln(int.stringof);         // "int"
    writefln((int*[5][]).stringof); // "int*[5][]"
    writefln(Enum.RED.stringof);    // "Enum.RED"
    writefln(test.myint.stringof);  // "test.myint"
    writefln((5).stringof);         // "5"
}
------------------------------------------

And got these errors:

------------------------------------------
main.d(13): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'int'
main.d(14): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'Foo'
main.d(15): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'Foo'
main.d(16): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'int'
main.d(17): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'int*[5][]'
main.d(18): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'int'
main.d(19): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'int'
main.d(20): Error: no property 'stringof' for type 'int'
------------------------------------------
