You can almost do what you want, which may be sufficient for your 
needs :P

Have a look these two projects as general examples:
* https://github.com/PhilippeSigaud/Pegged
* https://vibed.org/docs#html-templates

Basically, you can embed a DSL with arbitrary syntax and 
semantics in a D program, just as long as the DSL code is 
encapsulated in a string mixin. So, you can either have every D 
file be just a big string mixin - `mixin(myDSL("<lots of code 
here>"))` (see Pegged), or you can put the DSL code as separate 
files and then string-import it at compile-time from the rest of 
the D code (see vibe.d).
