Sorry, but this sounds like what any first-year student would present 
after the class "Intro to C++ STL".

I'd like the phrase "Template Meta-Program Parser Generator" to be 
included in the heading. IMHO, it's way more selling. And interesting.

Maybe "Template Meta-Program Parser Generator, notes and observations by 
the developer", or some such? Or insights, experiences, etc.

The casual observer would get the impression that such a (cool) thing 
doable in D in the first place, and one would presume the speaker would 
tell about the hard things and what was easy. Which ought to interest 
almost anybody.
