My bad! :)

This is what I should have typed:
writeln(typeid( [cast(dstring)"a", "b", "c"] ));

Well, I wasn't implying that we need a special postfix syntax for
custom types (honestly, at this stage any feature request gets shot

Maybe all that needs changing is the compiler so it can at least try
to find a common type.
