I'm looking for a better way to do this, if possible:
Or actually, maybe this will suite your case better:
```
template namedTool(T, alias Variable)
{
    enum namedTool = T.stringof ~ " " ~ Variable ~ " = new " ~ 
T.stringof ~ ";" ~
                     Variable ~ ".name = \"" ~ Variable ~ "\";";
}

void main()
{
    mixin(namedTool!(Tool, "grep"));
    assert(grep.name == "grep");
}
```

Thanks for trying. I know that it doesn't make much sense but it 
would have been a cool sugar for the tool class.

Mixins are not good for me because of completion in the IDE.
