I was going to suggest something like:

	alias typeof(return) ConcreteName;

But then I realized it's impossible to use ConcreteName in the function
signature, which makes it pointless to have the alias since it won't
show up in the Ddoc. :-(

Although, maybe something like this *might* be possible (but it's sorta
getting to the point of being ridiculously complex just for the sake of
making ddoc display a single identifier):

	template ConcreteName(A,B,C) {
		alias ConcreteName = SomeTemplate!(A, OtherTemplate!B, ...);
	}

	ConcreteName!(A,B,C) func(A,B,C,D)(D args) {
		ConcreteName!(A,B,C) retVal = ...;
		return retVal;
	}
