You are assuming template expressions. I am not. The main 
overhead when interacting with databases is network traffic, 
building the query should be done at runtime. No need for 
templates.

I am in favour of having a clean core language (minimal language 
after desugaring/lowering) that can be manipulated using term 
rewriting/symbolic manipulation (or ast macros). But that sounds 
more like D4 than D2...?
