If what you desire is run-time configuration then the path 
forward is to invoke compiler say via std.process and compile 
your config to shared object. After that if compile is successful 
dlopen + dlsym is the way to go.

There is import(“some_file”) to import files as data, but I’m not 
sure if that is what you are looking for.
