If you are asking to have code that uses a runtime string as a variable 
name, you will not be able to do that in D. You have to know the name at 
compile time.

However, you can store data mapped to string names using an associative 
array:

int[string] variables;
variables[name] = 0;

// use like
writeln(variables[name])
variables[name] = 5;
