Ehm... because until now I didn't know that @Given("foo") was 
possible. In my head I was doing compile-time stuff so everything 
had to be compile-time, if that makes any sense.

After I read the above I wasn't even sure how @Given("foo") would 
work so I wrote some code and now know that all I need is a 
struct with a regular string field. I think the documenation on 
http://dlang.org/attribute.html is severely lacking.

I think I have some refactoring to do now. Thanks for pointing 
this out!
