No progress on the DIP, I made an alternative implementation for 
vibe.d's Diet templates using multiple `shared static this()` and 
writing the files at run time:

Performance results are very promising. I don't know which way is nicer 
(or uglier), but at least for this use case, the DIP isn't strictly 
necessary.
