Compile-time int-to-string conversion

How can one, in D2, at compile time, convert an integer value (or any
other type, for that matter) to a string? Here's a simplified example of
what I want to do:
import std.conv;
template Say(int N)
{
pragma(msg, to!string(N));
}
mixin Say!(123);
This doesn't compile, because the to!string() function for some reason
can't be evaluated at compile time. (I've included the error messages
below.)
In D1 I used to write N.stringof, which worked as expected, but in D2
this would just print "N" instead of "123".
