The issue with this one is that __traits are not considered as types by the parser as they mostly are not.

one approach could be to have an opinion about which __traits can evaluate to types and allow those at parser level.

I may give this a shot but my time is currently limited.

I've managed to get it working for types. It has to because the grammar has to
changed so that __trait(getMember,...) becomes a BasicType.
To be clear my hacked DMD for

  struct Foo{struct A{}}
  alias FooA = __traits(getMember, Foo, "A");
  pragma(msg, FooA.stringof);

says: "A". Or even

  struct Foo{alias MyInt = int;}
  alias FooInt = __traits(getMember, Foo, "MyInt");
  static immutable FooInt fi = 42;
  pragma(msg, fi);

says "42"

Next step is for variables and other symbols.

Considering the grammar changes required this is clearly an enhancement.

I opted out. Maybe something that can be finished during your next week's hackatlon.
