Not for me but I almost always just do it at runtime; the compile 
time isn't as well tested. (I've only done little things with it 
at CT)

But the same principle should apply to the other D xml parsers so 
maybe one of them will be better.

You might be better off doing it at run time anyway - write a 
program to load the xml and generate it as a separate step in 
your build process.

With a CT binding, every single build is going to have to reparse 
all the xml and regenerate the binding and the compile time 
function executor in the compiler is kinda slow.
