Title: [DDMD] Remove (type) where type is a variable

This is a trivial workaround for a limitation in the converter's parser.

It parses `(type)` as `cast(type)`, because 'type' is a valid backend struct. It is so much easier to change these four lines than to add special cases. I do not believe it changes the quality of the code in any way.
