Actually, what is wrong with New!T(args)? This works fine for me:

T t = New!T(args) ??

template New(T) if(is(T == class)) {
  T New(A...)(A args) {
     return new T(args);
  }
}


class Test {
     this(in string s, in int i) {
         writefln("s=%s, i=%s", s, i);
     }
}
class AnotherTest {
     this(in int i) {
         writefln("i=%s", i);
     }
}

void main() {
     auto test = New!Test("test", 10);
     auto test2 = New!AnotherTest("test2", 20);
}
