People one github were asking for a dump function so they could do
     int a = 5;
     dump!("a"); // prints "a = 5"

Here's a working version if anyone wants it but you have to use 
it like
     mixin dump!("a");


//------------------------------------------------

mixin template dump(Names ... )
{
        auto _unused_dump = {
                import std.stdio : writeln, write;
                foreach(i,name; Names)
                {
                        write(name, " = ", mixin(name), (i<Names.length-1)?", ": 
"\n");
                }
                return false;
        }();
}

unittest{
        int x = 5;
        int y = 3;
        int z = 15;

        mixin dump!("x", "y"); // x = 5, y = 3
        mixin dump!("z");      // z = 15
        mixin dump!("x+y");    // x+y = 8
        mixin dump!("x+y < z");// x+y < z = true
}
