You cannot both have CTFE/inlining/templates and hide the source code.
It's the same as in C++.

You can either use an interface or just not provide an implementation
for the methods. Note that it's perfectly fine to have a method in D
without an implementation even it's not abstract. This is to support the
use case you have here and separate compilation.
I guess you would need to list the fields on classes/structs, again
that's just like C++.
