Is there a way to "stringnify" in Dlang? In C we would do something like the following:
#define STRINGIFY(x) #x
What's the equivalent in D?

For other symbols there is .stringof property (beware, it's behavior is not part of the spec) https://dlang.org/spec/property.html#stringof
And there is stuff for metaprogramming such like this in std.traits https://dlang.org/phobos/std_traits.html#ParameterIdentifierTuple |

Just remember .stringof is not "literal" as in there are certain expression that won't return exactly what you're trying to "stringify" ex. aliases etc. will actually return what they're an alias of etc. there are many other exceptions too. In general it will return just what you write, but not in all cases. |
