Your buffer solution works, but you need to put it inside a *function*, not at declaration scope. What you wrote declares *runtime* variables, which wouldn't be usable at compile time (if you got it past the parser, which is where it was failing).

So for instance:

```d
mixin template implement()
{
    mixin(() {
        // ctfe new array is basically the same as static array
        char[] buffer = new char[4096];
        int pos = 0;

        void append(string str)
        {
            buffer[pos .. pos + str.length] = str[];
            pos += str.length;
        }

        append("void* ctx;");
        return buffer[0 .. pos];
    }());
}
```

And yes, it is faster to do this than appending. But you have to do a *lot* of it to make a huge difference.
