There already is a kind of "code string":

It doesn't do any kind of syntax check, but there again how do
you want to have syntax check for any language? The D compiler
is a D compiler, it can't support js syntax or whatever.
There's a very basic syntax check: Token strings (q{...}) go
through tokenization. Compilation fails when the contents
aren't valid tokens. For example, q{'} fails with "Error:
unterminated character constant".
Then you can't put anything but D-like code... A string is way
better for that purpose, the q{} gives a handle to the editor and
I can't see a thing in there that can't (and shoudln't) be done
at the library level.
