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

Great masters generally warn to stay away from stringof. Please 
do not use it as much as possible. The following code snippet 
will be useful to you:

```d
alias CN = __traits(allMembers, CardinalNumbers);

static foreach(i; CN)
{
   mixin(create_fn!(i[1]));
}

enum create_fn(char num) = `
   auto function_`~ num ~`()
     => "Hello from function `~ num ~`!";
`;

enum CardinalNumbers
{
   n0, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7, n8, n9
}

void main()
{
   assert(function_9() == "Hello from function 9!");
}
```
