That is kind of neat. While I can say that D can perform technically the 
same feat via pragma(msg, ...) and importing a file directly (would 
leave a comment on the blog, but there isn't a spot for it), the fact 
that you can execute arbitrary code in a block at compile time that can 
use the *actual* i/o routines you would use at runtime is pretty impressive.

Stefan would have a field day with this power :)
