Have you looked up token string literals?

	enum myCode = q{
		// This is actually a string that looks like code
		void func() { }

		// Of course it allows token sequences that aren't valid
		// D, but that's not important because mixin() will
		// complain if it's malformed.
		float void is double null {[ 0* }]
	};
