It is not ignoring the name; it is basically trying to do += on an object (the
named mixin) that has void type. The named mixin is like a gateway to select
the proper method, not an object on which operator overloading can be applied.
The name for the mixin has the purpose of being explicitly used when you want
to disambiguate, not to be used as an aggregate declaration; changing this may
lead to surprising behavior.

Closing as invalid.
