Not sure about simple or non-arcane, but this works:

immutable typeof(new class{}) hex;

This is nice because it's actually kinda readable

Nice. Would be interesting to list use cases for this in the docs.

Moreover

     typeof(new class{})

is

    __anonclass1

so, for conformity,

    typeof(struct {})

should be allowed and be

    __anonstruct1
