__gshared and static need to be initialized with a value known at 
compile-time. You're trying to give it a run-time value. You can 
set this after it's first created:

S* add(A...)(ref A a) {
    __gshared S s;
    s = S(a);
    return &s;
}

That's a little kludgy, but apparently that's how it be.

You also get another error message:
Error: function test.add!bool.add(ref bool _param_0) is not 
callable using argument types (bool)

That's because add takes its arguments by ref, and true is a 
literal that has no canonical address, and thus can't be passed 
by ref. You might consider using auto ref.
