Previously, there were ideas on the implementation of macros

AST macros are permanently off the table?
Unless you find a way to convince Walter and Andrei that its not
gonna result in everyone defining their own sub-language within
D, making D code harder to read for others and/or have good
reasons for things they enable that currently cannot be done
(read: have rather ugly and laborious/error-prone workarounds or
simply no workarounds at all while being desirable things to want
to do).
At least as far as I remember those were the main points they
were on about :o)
