           Summary: CTFE fails for ImportExpressions
           Product: D
           Version: 1.017
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows

I believe this should to work, as 'path' is known at compile time:

char[] foo(char[] path)
{
    char[] t = import(path); //Error: file name argument must be a string, not
(path)

    return "";
}

void main(char[][] args)
{
   mixin(foo("template"));
}

Functions to be used in CTFE must still be compilable as normal functions.
Yours doesn't meet that criterion. Try something like:
---
char[] foo(char[] path)()
{
    char[] t = import(path); //Error: file name argument must be a string, not
(path)

    return "";
}

void main(char[][] args)
{
   mixin(foo!("template"));
}

Oops. Thanks for pointing that out.

One thing I think should work is hiding the import() in a template, and 
sending that value off to the CTF.

template T_Import (char[] file) {
   const T_Import = import(file);
}

template T_Foo (char[] file) {
   const T_Foo = `foo("`~T_Import!(file)~`")` ;
}

char[] foo (char[] data) {
   // ...
}

void main (char[][] args) {
   mixin(T_Foo!("template"));
}

I've used something similar to preload image and font data in an SDL 
based program.  It does work -- and the extra T_Import template 
maintains one copy of a given file being embedded.  (Otherwise fonts at 
least would sometimes result in two or three copies.  Bad bad disc 
usage, that.)
