Neither templates, nor mixin templates seem capable of this. Easy enough
to use mixin, with tokenized string literal format, I think. I just
hesitate to make opaque string evaluation a thing if some more
meaningful method exists.

That code is completely wrong anyway.
But you could do:

alias Derp = TFoo;
Derp obj;

struct TFoo {
        int a, b;
}

Of course you can make TFoo a template so that alias could initiate it 
with your arguments.
