The example looks terrible -- objc_lookUpClass which only gets

A little of massage and you get:
struct ClassStorage(C)
{
  alias lookUp this;
  C lookUp() immutable
  {
    return cast(C)objc_lookUpClass(C.stringof);
  }
}

immutable ClassStorage!NSString cNSString;

C alloc(C)()
{
  immutable ClassStorage!C c;
  return c.alloc();
}

void main()
{
  auto str = cNSString.alloc.initWithUTF8String("Hello World!");
  auto str1 = alloc!NSString.initWithUTF8String("Hello World!");
  NSLog(str);
  str.release();
  str1.release();
}
