This is part of the old dparse.d file:

I have a problem with this part:  (is(ToString(t)) :
dparse.d(215): Error: function declaration without return type. 
(Note that constructors are always named 'this')

How to fix this code?

I think (THINK!!) you could use __traits(compiles, ToString(t)) 
in place of the is(ToString(t)).

Unless all objects have an implicit toString? In which case it 
will always return true and be a useless check.
On the phone and couldn't check properly...
