I guess, the algorithm I proposed will be incorrect for pointer type arguments of templates (the length of `T<int*>` should be 7 regardless of `RemoveStars`), but this can be fixed by conditionally (on RemoveStars) trimming `*`s from the right of the type name and then treating them as punctuation. So instead of

`int`-test is just for that :-)

```
int a = static_cast<int>(foo());                 // ---> int  a = ...
```
