There are probably better ways. However, this seems to work:
```d
import std;
enum canBeSetToNull(T) = __traits(compiles,(T.init is null));

interface I1
{
}

class C1 : I1
{
}

struct S1
{
}

    struct S2
    {
        int a=1;
    }

    void main()
    {
        auto c1 = new C1;

        I1 i1 = c1;

        auto s1 = S1();
        auto s2 = S2();

        static assert(canBeSetToNull!(typeof(c1)));
        static assert(canBeSetToNull!(typeof(i1)));
        static assert(!canBeSetToNull!(typeof(s1)));
        static assert(!canBeSetToNull!(typeof(s2)));
        static assert(!canBeSetToNull!(int));
        static assert(canBeSetToNull!(int*));

}```

Sorry, I see that is basically what you had.
