What you need here is a more robust di generator IMO.
This is neither a code duplication (there is certain distinction
between prototype and body) nor a bad practice - this is a common
pattern in C and C++. It is surprising that D cannot do such a
simple thing which in addition is not harmless, so there is no
sense in depreciating it.
