You can use the typeof() operator to capture the type of a long,
unwieldy type in an alias. This is useful if you ever need to store such
a return type somewhere, e.g.:
alias T = typeof(csvReader(...));
struct MyStorage {
T result;
}
MyStorage s;
s.result = csvReader(...);
Let the compiler figure out the type for you. :-)
T
