It's just so I didn't have to escape the quotes :D

Otherwise it looks like this:

return "writefln(\"mode " ~ mode ~ ": %s\", " ~ value ~ ");"

But such an option is possible to do work? : D

return `writefln(q"["mode]" ` ~ mode ~ `q"[: %s"]", ` ~ value ~ `);`;

I think we can probably do a compile-time substitution processor like rust (and other languages, including php and ruby) which just uses the variable name inside a string with some escape around it. `~var~` is not very succinct, I like $var better.

It would be very good, because many have long been trying to implement this functionality handmade :)
