Hello!

Can we introduce std.conv.parse for user defined structs/classes?

I think we can define inner static method:

-----------
struct UserStruct
{
     static typeof(this) parseImpl(Range)(Range range)
     if(...)
     {
         typeof(this) ret;
         ...
         return ret;
     }
}
-----------
or something like that.

And then use it in standard parse function.

The reason is common parse, formattedRead and io/stdio.readf functions
that can be used for user defined types (and for voldemort user defined
types too!).

Isn't this starting to look like serialization?
