In my JavaScript VM, I have a function whose purpose is to

vm.defRTConst("OBJ_MIN_CAP"w, OBJ_MIN_CAP);
vm.defRTConst("PROTO_SLOT_IDX"w, PROTO_SLOT_IDX);
vm.defRTConst("FPTR_SLOT_IDX"w, FPTR_SLOT_IDX);
vm.defRTConst("ATTR_CONFIGURABLE"w  , ATTR_CONFIGURABLE);
vm.defRTConst("ATTR_WRITABLE"w      , ATTR_WRITABLE);
vm.defRTConst("ATTR_ENUMERABLE"w    , ATTR_ENUMERABLE);
vm.defRTConst("ATTR_DELETED"w       , ATTR_DELETED);
vm.defRTConst("ATTR_GETSET"w        , ATTR_GETSET);
vm.defRTConst("ATTR_DEFAULT"w       , ATTR_DEFAULT);
I'm just wondering if there's a way to template defRTConst so 
that the name of an identifier I'm passing (e.g.: ATTR_DEFAULT) 
can be captured by the template, making it so that I don't also 
need to pass the name as a string. I expect the answer to be 
no, but maybe someone with more knowledge of D template magic 
knows better.

Something like this?

enum ATTRS
{
        ATTR_GETSET,
        ATTR_ENUMERABLE,
        ATTR_CONFIGURABLE
}

void foo(ATTRS attr)
{
        import std.conv;
        foo_impl(attr, to!string(attr));
}

void foo_impl(ATTRS attr, string name)
{
        import std.stdio;
        writefln("name = %s, attr = %d", name, attr);
}

void main()
{
        foo(ATTRS.ATTR_GETSET);
}
