// C version
#include <stdio.h>

#define Stringize(x) #x

int main()
{
	int foo = 42;
	const char* s = Stringize(foo);
	
	printf("%s", s);	
	return 0;
}

// D version
import std.stdio;

template Stringize(alias s)
{
    auto Stringize = s.stringof;
}

int main()
{
    auto foo = 42;
    string s = Stringize!(foo);
	
    writefln("%s", s);
    return 0;
