Another potential solution would be to allow passing metadata on the 
function call side, to the function.

Consider:

``i"prefix${expr:format}suffix"``

Could be:

```d
func("prefix", @format("format") expr, "suffix");

void func(T...)(T args) {
	pragma(msg, __traits(getAttributes, args[1])); // format("format")
}

```

This is so much simpler than what 1036e is.

But it does require another language feature.
