You could equivalently have a string containing valid D code,

tends to work poorly with refactoring tools, for instance, and
there's an assumption that string literals are data and not
code.
Would the D string tokens do?
BTW. Thanks for all your valuable comments. I really like that
kind of critique.
C#'s system of lambda expressions that you can access as
expression trees keeps the benefits of writing everything in
the same language.
I think I'm still not convinced to that approach (seems hacky). I
agree with Walter in that matter (language changes, AST,
overloading etc).
Especially, D is number one in meta-programming capabilities
(among C++ and Rust) and nothing seems to change it in
foreseeable future
