Seems like I'd want to move the converting-to-string 
functionality to within the template mixin then, something like:

---
mixin template S(T, T t) if (is(T == enum))
{
	//import std.traits;
	//enum s = fullyQualifiedName!(t); // unfortunately this results 
in "t"

	import std.conv: to;
	enum s = to!string(t); // this works
}

mixin S!(Foo, Foo.BAR);
---

But passing an enum as parameter seems to be somewhat annoying. 
If I leave off the first Foo, then it complains about no-matching 
template for int parameter.
!(Foo, Foo.BAR) seems kinda redundant..
