I have some templates to help initialize things, like a

mixin(Property!("Name", int));
creates a property named Name with type int.
I'd like to be able to call it like
mixin(Property!(Name, int));
(Name is a symbol but undefined at the mixin site(since it
will be defined once the mixin is done)
I doubt this is possible in any way because it requires the
compiler to allow such undefined symbols but would be nice...
e.g.,
template Property(lazy alias name, type) { ... }
but who knows, maybe I'm wrong and there is some way to do
this?
There isn't a way AFAIK
You can use the q{...} syntax though, which is particularly
nice for passing large code strings.
I'm just passing short string literals to represent variable
names... It's not a huge deal but I wanted to avoid the quotes if
I could(since they serve no real purpose).
