I don't think you can reliably do that because of semantics w.r.t.
passing parameters on the stack vs in registers based on whether a
type is a pointer or not. I've had this sort of bug when wrapping C++
where the C++ compiler was passing a parameter in one way but the D
compiler expected the parameters to be passed, simply because I tried
to be clever and fake a return type. See:

I think that align(1) structs that wrap a single value should be treated
as its type. After all they have the same size and representation. I
don't know how this works now, though.
