True, but you also cannot argue that since D has string mixins it must also have 
AST macros.

What macros do is bless, encourage, and make inevitable a particularly abusive 
style of programming. D already has super powerful metaprogramming abilities 
that we are far from exploring the limits of. I don't think we should be adding 
on even more that experience has shown goes quickly out of control.
