Would the D string tokens do?

BTW. Thanks for all your valuable comments. I really like that 
kind of critique.

I think I'm still not convinced to that approach (seems hacky). I 
agree with Walter in that matter (language changes, AST, 
overloading etc).

Especially, D is number one in meta-programming capabilities 
(among C++ and Rust) and nothing seems to change it in 
foreseeable future
