preprocessor macros ? - but far more advanced and capable ?

I need to re-read Ali Çehreli’s excellent book for the third time.

No, not so far. Adam, if you think that is a workable approach 
then I certainly will do so. It’s going to be very awkward 
generating literal strings in D code using literal strings in the 
meta-mixin-code or whatever I should call it.

Is this what you want todo:

```d
import std.string : format, capitalize;
import std.stdio : writeln;

string getter(string v)
{
     return "auto get%s() { return %s; }".format(v.capitalize, v);
}

class T
{
     int abc;
     mixin(getter("abc"));
}

void main() {
     auto t = new T();
     writeln(t.getAbc());
}
```
