When I needed interpolation, I did not know about this library. 
So I create my own implementation and name it `expand`. I only 
needed class properties and did not support the expression, so 
this can not be considered a general solution, but name `expand` 
seems to be good for me.

unittest
{
	class InterTest
	{
		static int a = 1;
		static string bb = "--bb--";
		
		mixin ExpandLocals;
		
		auto getInterpolated()
		{
			return expand!"a is $a, bb is $bb, and this is just $ sign";
		}
	}
	
	assert((new InterTest).getInterpolated() == "a is 1, bb is 
--bb--, and this is just $ sign");
	
}

Now I spend thinking some time about it and didn't find common 
solution without text mixin too.
