I'm not into metaprogramming, but I think this would be a great feature of D 
to pick up.

Already I'm noticing some D templates doing the same copy-paste trick to get 
a template to accept any number of parameters (like in the S&S examples in 
the respective thread). IIRC the was another D template library that 
actually used a D program/script to generate its .d files for any number of 
parameters! Surely we can do better than that...
