I see, think it can be done with mixin:
```d
template prn(alias args)
{
string prn()
{
string result = "write(";
foreach(s; args.split("|"))
{
result ~= format("%s,", s);
}
return result ~ ");";
}
}
void main()
{
int data = 456;
char enter = '\n';
mixin(prn!q{
enter| 123 | " str " | data |
enter| __TIME__ | enter }
);
mixin(
prn!q{"This value of " |41| " is prime."}
);
}
```
If there was some convenience on the compiler side, we could
integrate it into D.

There's already an implementation of `mixin` string
interpolation in https://github.com/Abscissa/scriptlike
I took a quick look and didn't like it! Maybe it would be more
useful to use it in a comprehensive project.
I like simple things more. In D, I would like to be able to
write:
```d
printq("Value: " stack.pop ", address 0x" stack.length +
stack.ptr);
```
But due to a habit from C, I say like this:
```d
writef("Value: %s, address 0x%s", stack.pop, stack.length +
stack.ptr);
```
Longer, yes, but I respect it. There are many people like me who
love the old. But I also love the new conveniences:
```d
with(new Stack!IDs)
{
while(!empty)
{
"Value".write(": ", pop);
", ".writefln!"%saddress 0x%x"
(length + ptr);
}
}
```
I like these too! But it's not enough! It's not enough, you
know? I'm a human! I don't know what postfix is! I have to
keep up with the computer not it me.
The computer has to keep up with me, not me! Because I created it.
