The general rule is to try to use the local name inside the 
string instead of concatenating its result, and remember the 
built in compiler-tuple - which is what __traits(getAttributes) 
and the parameters reflection and other things - can be used 
directly in a lot of places, you can very often substitute one of 
those for a value and it will put it in for you. I encourage you 
to experiment with plugging these things directly in at the use 
site and seeing what happens before falling back to strings.

fyi don't really follow this forum anymore, you got a bit lucky 
that i popped in for the dconf online link, so i might not see 
any further replies to this.
