I don't like each version you provided. The most readable and D-ish (in
comparison to static initialization) would be something like this example:

char[][][char[]] languageTokens =
    [
      "comments" : ["\\*", "*\\", "//", "\\+", "+\\],
      "type"     : ["bool", "int", "double", "float"]
    ];

and so on.

I don't know mixins because I don't like mixins (as well as I don't
really like templates).
