I understand that :)
But suppouse than string "writefln(i)" has been produced by some DSL  
transformator:

  int i = 4;
  mixin( ProduceWritefln("i") );

The content of ProduceWritefln() need no access to variable i -- it makes  
some string which transformed to D code only in mixin(), not in  
ProduceWritefln. So the main task of ProduceWritefln is manipulating of  
string without access to any existed D code.

So my point is to allow to ProduceWritefln be ordinary D code which  
executed at compilation time.
