It's just so I didn't have to escape the quotes :D
Otherwise it looks like this:
return "writefln(\"mode " ~ mode ~ ": %s\", " ~ value ~ ");"
But such an option is possible to do work? : D
return `writefln(q"["mode]" ` ~ mode ~ `q"[: %s"]", ` ~ value ~ `);`;
This looks horrid :)
I think we can probably do a compile-time substitution processor like
rust (and other languages, including php and ruby) which just uses the
variable name inside a string with some escape around it. `~var~` is
not very succinct, I like $var better.
It would be very good, because many have long been trying to implement
this functionality handmade :)

Yes, unfortunately that version is BSD licensed, won't make it into phobos.
