Given:

void foo(int a, string b);

You can use std.traits.ParameterTypeTuple to get (int, string).

Is there any method, at all, to get ("a", "b") out of it? I can't find
one, and am considering import("mysrc.d"); and finding it that way,
but figured I'd ask first.

The benefits of getting the names would be runtime function calls, or named arguments. Consider this:

ParameterTuple!foo args;

args.b = "hello";

foo(args);

That'd be kinda cool.

No need to parse the whole source:

Here you go: http://tango.pastebin.com/M38jdhGd including calling using named arguments.

Does not handle function/delegate return types.

struct S {}
void function(int delegate(float)) F(string delegate(), string function(string, string), float, double, S);	
writeln("Parameters: ", parameterNamesOf!F);

Gives:
Parameters: delegate(float

One needs to match parentheses from the last parentheses in the typeof.stringof.

string parameterNamesOf( alias fn )( ) {
    string fullName = typeof(&fn).stringof;
	
    int pos = fullName.lastIndexOf( ')' );
    int end = pos;
    int count = 0;
    do {
        if ( fullName[pos] == ')' ) {
            count++;
        } else if ( fullName[pos] == '(' ) {
            count--;
        }
        pos--;
    } while ( count > 0 );
	
    return fullName[pos+2..end];
}
