Issue ID: 15554

Casting from a string to a custom Typedef type is more complicated than it
should be. To should actually care about the underlying typedef-type, and
recognize that it has to parse a string to a long value:
alias QuestionId = Typedef!(long, long.init, "QuestionId");
QuestionId q = to!(TypedefType!QuestionId)("43"); // Compiles
QuestionId q2 = to!QuestionId("43"); // Error..
