Return type deduction probably won't work, but implicit casts of a custom data type could do this - that's how C++ would do it.
Alas, D does not have an implicit cast operator :( best we have is `alias this` but it only allows one right now (despite the book saying it is supposed to do multiple.. and there are some PRs about it). They wouldn't be templated but json could just do a few implicit casts.
