I have spent some time thinking about how the D syntax can be
polished by adding sugar. I wonder if this would be possible to
implement in the parser:
IN:
(int`x + int`y) * `y
OUT:
(int __1,int __2) => (__1 + __2) * __2
IN:
callTemplate!(`mycmp`(`a,1+2))
OUT:
calltemplate!("mycmp(a," ~ __to_string( 1+2 ) ~ ")")
Apart from the fact that I find this harder to read than simply
spelling it out: Backticks are already used for wysiwyg strings.
It's almost impossible to reuse them for anything else.
