alias Largest(T...) = T[0];

Example

static assert(is(Largest!(uint, ubyte, ushort, real) == real));
static assert(is(Largest!(ulong, double) == ulong));
static assert(is(Largest!(double, ulong) == double));
static assert(is(Largest!(uint, byte, double, short) == double));
static if (is(ucent))
    static assert(is(Largest!(uint, ubyte, ucent, ushort) == ucent));
