How about this:

struct A {
int x = 42;

struct B {
int x = 7;
}
T factory(T)() {
return T();

void main()
{
auto a = factory!(A);

That's what I was looking for, I just couldn't get it right.
Thanks.
Rikki:
I wanted to avoid classes and interfaces.
This might be a bit more useful:
---
struct A {
int x = 42;
}
struct B {
int x = 7;
}
auto factory(string type = "")() {
static if (type == "A")
return A();
else static if (type == "B")
return B();
else
return A(); // default
}
void main()
{
auto a = factory!"A";
auto b = factory!"B";
auto x = factory;
}

Duh, I tried `static if` yesterday and I still got "Error:
mismatched function return type inference of B and A". Now it
works! Sure, I must have overlooked something. Sometimes it's
better to go home and call it a day than to try to get something
to work.
