Much as I love the idea of generating D code at compile-time and look
forward to newCTFE, there comes a point when I'd really rather just run
the DSL through some kind of preprocessing (i.e., compile with ispc) as
part of the build, then link the result to the D code, rather than
trying to shoehorn everything into (new)CTFE.
