It can take a big chunk out of any situation where you need to use a switch to select between templates, but it'll have little effect on anything which uses templating and CTFE for expressiveness. Or maybe it will - it's a diverse concept that I haven't fully explored.

As to DDL, it looks like a great utility that could easily be used for many of the same things my library could, and is portable and supports D modules more thoroughly to boot. I didn't know of it until you mentioned it, but I remember Eric Anderton talking about it years ago. My code is much more ramshackle and driven for a singular purpose.
