Could D adopt a similar design? What do you think?

D is not Nemerle.  D does not use macros.  D does not have syntax tree
reflection, let alone built into the language.

D most probably will not adopt a similar design.

in the last D conference Walter did mention AST Macros. It probably just
got postponed because of the const design. I hope D does get such a
feature since it's a very powerful concept.

D was getting macros (though not exactly the same as Nemerle's). In 
fact, there's even a macro.c in the DMD source. But I'm not sure if 
they've been dropped by the wayside; Walter hasn't mentioned them since 
the conference last year.

macro.c in the DMD sources is about DDOC macros.
