String pasting / symbol construction?

Just checking ... there's still no way to construct symbols (maybe 
tokens is the right word?) at compile time is there?

For instance if I want to have something like

template funcs(char[] suffix) {
    alias function1##suffix function1;
    alias function2##suffix function2;
    alias function3##suffix function3;
}

resulting in

   funcs!("f").function1()

being equivalent to the call

   function1f()

There's still no way to do that, right?
Any good workarounds?
(In this case I'd actually like to take 3 strings and paste em together 
like that to make a function name).
