Good to hear. I'm sure there are much more impressive things that can be 
done with it, but being able to give such exact compiler messages is 
pretty darn useful I've found.

It must be in the top 3 complaints from people learning STL that the 
compiler error messages are so cryptic. By using D templates with 
meta.nameof it might be possible to make templated code even easier to 
'debug' than non-templated code. I think this can be a huge time-saver.
