Somewhere I've got one similar to the last of these but using writef.

Writing code to do stuff at compile time like this is an interesting idea.  I've seen the C preprocessor used for this:

Cool.
Try compiling http://www.dsource.org/projects/ddl/browser/trunk/meta/demo/beer.d
from Don Clugston's meta library. No need for a preprocessor...

You just inspired me to update it to DMD 0.162. It's very simple now, all the workarounds are gone. It's probably worth submitting to 99-bottles-of-beer.net now.
And yes, D templates seem to be even more powerful than the combination of C preprocessor + C++ templates.

Awesome. Although if I look at the top 3 of the site I'm not sure if it would speak for D to end up there, that is some painful code!
