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;
```

İt is one of the nicest features of d. I believe it should not be 
used too often because it may cause longer compilation times, 
worse code reading, less comfort with d code scanners, editors 
etcetera.
