I have a function that can be run at compile-time and which will be able to output code to be injected into the D source code stream. Can I get mixin whatever to do this for me? Mixin with a function that runs at compile-time and creates the required source ? Like D’s solution for a replacement for function-style C preprocessor macros ? - but far more advanced and capable ?

I need to re-read Ali Çehreli’s excellent book for the third time.

Is this what you want todo:

```d
import std.string : format, capitalize;
import std.stdio : writeln;

string getter(string v)
{
    return "auto get%s() { return %s; }".format(v.capitalize, v);
}

class T
{
    int abc;
    mixin(getter("abc"));
}

void main() {
    auto t = new T();
    writeln(t.getAbc());
}
```
