At my job, I put together a database migration tool for our

I want to implement this in D. However, while D allows you to
import individual files, it doesn't let you import an entire
directory.
I can make a prebuild script to generate code for this, but I'm
wondering: do other people find themselves needing this
periodically? If so, I can write a DIP for it, or at least
publish a codegen tool that other people can use.
Why do you want to import files at compile time? Why can't it be
done in run time, by simply reading directory with dirEntries and
opening std.stdio.File for each one?
