Indeed, I too did not know about this!

I generally do a ~ b ~ c, not worrying about performance since it's compile time, but this requires that you do the conversion to string yourself. In some cases, it's a requirement since what the compiler does to convert to a string may not be what you want.

But something like mixin("int a = ", adefault, ";"); is much better than

import std.format;
mixin(format("int a = %s;" adefault));

I will have to remember this. I recently found out that pragma(msg) has the same capability.

A month ago I discovered that mixinDeclarations can be used for types too:

mixin("int[", 2, "]") a = [5, 6];

That's insane :D
