I agree. It seems at least a couple of features could have been implemented using AST macros instead.

I agree; eg, just to name 2 features that I proposed that could be simply implemented via AST macros as Jacob said:

* [proposal: a new string litteral to embed variables in a string http://forum.dlang.org/post/mailman.94.1383254681.9546.digitalmars-d@puremagic.com]

* [Re: feature request: __ARGS__ for logging (cf __FILE__, __LINE__, __FUNC___ http://forum.dlang.org/post/kegmp0$30dn$1@digitalmars.com]

It seems we could even get rid of __FILE__,__LINE__,__MODULE__ with AST macros.
