Nice. Btw I vaguely remember you also wrote about how and why to reduce the usage string mixins, with some real example of alternative techniques you used

The general rule is to try to use the local name inside the string instead of concatenating its result, and remember the built in compiler-tuple - which is what __traits(getAttributes) and the parameters reflection and other things - can be used directly in a lot of places, you can very often substitute one of those for a value and it will put it in for you. I encourage you to experiment with plugging these things directly in at the use site and seeing what happens before falling back to strings.

fyi don't really follow this forum anymore, you got a bit lucky that i popped in for the dconf online link, so i might not see any further replies to this.
