You are assuming template expressions. I am not. The main
overhead when interacting with databases is network traffic,
building the query should be done at runtime. No need for
templates.
I am in favour of having a clean core language (minimal language
after desugaring/lowering) that can be manipulated using term
rewriting/symbolic manipulation (or ast macros). But that sounds
more like D4 than D2...?
