As the subject says, I would like D to generate functions from a template or 
something.

I have a (elaborate) function which I have to copy a few times with only 
minor changes.
I could make the function variadic, but this would be slower.
Can I let D create the functions for me?

The changes between the functions aren't complexer than:

int add_1(int num){
  int i;
  i=num+1;
  return i;
}

int add_2(int num){
  int i;
  i=num+2;
  return i;
}

|int add(int inc)(int num){

|  return i;

|add!(1)(val);
|add!(2)(val);

I have done functions with bool template parameters and then static if inside. 
If you want clean names for them you can use aliases

alias add!(1) add_1;
alias add!(2) add_2;

Thanks,
I'll try this on my functions (and read up on templates. Never used those 
before.. exciting :)

 |int add(int inc)(int num){
 |  int i;
 |  i = num+inc;
 |  return i;
 |}
 |
 |add!(1)(val);
 |add!(2)(val);
