It was necessary in C because it does not have built-in string
concatenation. So only way to define pre-formatted string was
something like this: `"Error in " __FILENAME__ ", run for your
lives!"`
It does not seem that needed in D. I was using it out of habit
but bearophile has convinced me it is a bad idea.
