Good stuff.
Of course, the above code is just a proof-of-concept; it
doesn't handle
integer or other types of variables, and it currently only
escapes '"',
(it should be extended to also escape '\', etc.). But all of
these would
be easily addressed by a proper implementation using std.conv
and by
handling metacharacters properly. The point is that you *can*
do string
interpolation in D without needing language-level support.
Absolutely - I was not under the impression it needed to be
provided by the language proper. But a standard library would be
nice. I look forward to seeing/using Timothy's version when it is
ready. Lack of interpolation is one reason I went with Dart for
my code generation tasks.
