I asked this some time (years?) ago. Time for a second try :)
Consider this:
---
T simple(T)() { return T.init; }
void main()
{
int test = simple!int(); // it compiles
int test2 = simple(); // it doesn't
auto test3 = simple!int();
Granted, you are still typing "auto", but only specify the type
once.

Only for the simple case.
It would interesting if it would work for:
struct Blah
{
string name;
}
Blah b;
b.name = simple();
or:
void myFunc(string s) { ... }
myFunc(simple());
