I've been thinking quite long of how AST macros could look like
in D. I've been posting my vision of AST macros here in the
newsgroup a couple of times already. I've now been asked to
create a DIP out of it, so here it is:

I don't have time to investigate this in details but I'd like to
mention that this is one of few possible new features where ROI
is really worth it. It removes lot of burden from core language
and allows to replace some very arcane template hacks with
cleaner code. I'd say it is a bit too early to go for it (really,
we need at least to figure out how to make releases without
issues first :)) but it is a good future goal even in context of
general feature freezing.
