Is it possible to write something like this in the compile time?

Although the compiler already has enough information, this is not possible because the template constraints are not allowed to use the runtime parameters (they are compile-time only constraints). It would be more doable like this:

auto foo(T)(T t)
    if (is(T == immutable(int)))
{
    assert(t == 5);
}

void main()
{
    immutable int n = 6;
    foo(n); // Possible in the future:
    // dmd test.d --deep-asserts-verification
    // Error: function foo has an assert which can't satisfied:
    // assert(5 == n) <- n is 6
}

Yes, but I can do that I need check use strings ( source is taken away http://ddili.org/ders/d.en/mixin.html ):

import std.conv : to;
import std.string : split;
import std.stdio : writeln;

int[] filter(string predicate)(in int[] numbers)
    if (predicate.split[0] == "number" &&
        predicate.split[1] == ">" &&
        predicate.split[2].to!int <= int.max)
{
    int[] result;

    foreach (number; numbers) {
        if (mixin (predicate)) {
            result ~= number;
        }
    }

    return result;
}

void main()
{
    auto a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

    writeln(a.filter!"number > 3"); // [4, 5]
}

Code Ali is not safe, because I can refer to the inner filter function directly in a function call :)

import std.conv : to;
import std.string : split;
import std.stdio : writeln;

int[] filter(string predicate)(in int[] numbers)
{
    int[] result;

    foreach (number; numbers) {
        if (mixin (predicate)) {
            result ~= number;
        }
    }

    return result;
}

void main()
{
    auto a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

    writeln(a.filter!"result != [1, 2]"); // [1, 2]
}
