Even today, it's easy to take a CTFE/string mixin front-end and create a 
wrapper over your framework! So it's trivially easy to prove it can be 
done. You can literally do anything. Functionality is not the problem -- 
the challenge is to make it nice. The CTFE/mixin combo is not nice, but 
it definitely has the power.

I'm thinking something like:

auto result = SQL{ SELECT * FROM :localvar WHERE name LIKE 'abc*' AND 
price > 300 ORDER BY date DESC }

where SQL is a DSL macro, and the {} are delimiters indicating that it's 
a DSL, not normal D code. That's a syntax which is currently available.
