You forgot reflection. The quine would generate itself by reflecting
upon itself and reproducing itself via aliasing recursive mixins (by
which I mean string mixins that contain "mixin" in the string,
recursively) into a recursive template that generates a class hierarchy.

Bonus points if the code *in theory* would reproduce itself, but
actually causes dmd to run into an infinite loop. :P
