If count < 10 then why not just

```d
import std;

     static foreach(c; "0123456789")
     {
       mixin(create_fn!(c));
     }

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

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