Please elaborate. What kind of construct in a language that
supports OO solves the same set of problems D templates do and
is unequivocally a better design?
Lisp/scheme macros come to mind :) There are no issues AFAIK
integrating those with OOP, in fact the OOP features are
implemented with macros (CLOS).
