mixin:blah
mixin.blah
mixin!blah

If you do something like this, I'd just want this to work:

mixin!bitfields("uint x : 2")

I use mixins with CTFE functions WAY MORE than I use them with templates.

Incidentally, writing something that parses the above language for
bitfields wouldn't be too hard.  I've done something similar for
defining properties.
