The parseDOM returns a DOMEntity(R) type, how do I write a xmlRoot as

I need its detailed type (auto / Variant doesn't work).

        import dxml.dom;
        ?? xmlRoot;
        int main() {
            string xml = readText("a.xml");
            auto dom = parseDOM(xml);
            xmlRoot = dom.children[0];
        }
```d
import dxml.dom;
import std.stdio;

     DOMEntity!string xmlRoot;
     int main()
     {
         string xml = "<some></some>";
         auto dom = parseDOM(xml);
         writeln(typeof(dom.children[0]).stringof); // yields 
"DOMEntity!string"
         xmlRoot = dom.children[0];
         return 0;
     }
     ```


In general, the easiset thing to do is use typeof, though it's not 
always pretty (and not always obvious how to write it). However, it's 
required for voldemort types.

```d
typeof(parseDom("")) DomEntity;
```
