I have another thing to add. You argued about reasons not to
use macros but these reasons don't apply to AST Macros, they
won't allow constructing new languages like in Lisp or in Neat.
Typed AST Macros would only accept parseable D source code with
correct typing while untyped AST Macros would relax typing
issues but syntax is still valid D.
A good reference to compare are Scala Macros:
https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/guides/macros/macros.html
Also Swift Macros:
