How to use ".stringof" to get the value of a variable and not the name of the variable (identifier) itself?

[mw]

use:

import std.conv;

... i.to!string ...



```
import std.stdio;
import std.conv;

static foreach(i; 0 .. 10) {
   mixin(create_fn!(i.to!string));
}

enum create_fn(string num) = `
   void function_`~ num ~`() { writeln("Hello from function `~ num 
~`!"); }
`;

void main() {
   function_9();
}

```


$ dmd -c gen_fun_i.d
$ nm gen_fun_i.o  | grep function_

Hello from function 9!
