you can't unless left and right are const. If they are you have several 
options:

mixin("char[] "~left~right~";")

then use mixin(left~right) for the variable

another option is a total hack

template Value(T, char[] str) { T Value; }

Value!(char[], left~right) = "hello";
writef("%s\n", Value!(char[], left~right));

I haven't actually tried that usage, but you can make it work for some 
cases. The advantage of it is that you can do it with D v1.0
