Is there some way to do:

auto into!(T)(T value){return to!???(value); } // ???

uint time = into!(data[1]); // We already know this is uint
int priority = into!(data[2]);
```

instead of:
```D
uint time = to!uint(data[1]); // specifying type twice
int priority = to!int(data[2])
```

No, D only does bottom-up type inference, not top down.

If you want to avoid repeating the type, use `auto` on the left side:

```d
auto time = to!uint(data[1]);
auto priority = to!int(data[2]);
```
