Ending the loop at 0 instead of 1:
---
import std.metastrings;

template ManyStructs(int count)
{
     static if(count == 0)
     {
         const char[] ManyStructsImpl = "";
     }
     else
     {
         const char[] ManyStructsImpl = "struct Struct" ~ 
ToString!(count) ~ " { int baz = "~ToString!(count)~"; 
}"~ManyStructsImpl!(count - 1);
     }
}

Duplicate code is bad :P.
