As far as I know, there's no way to hide away the `mixin` 
statement in a template or alias. You could do something like 
this, if you really wanted to, but really the only difference is 
that it uses fewer parentheses.

     string generateCode(string s){return "";}
     enum foo(string s) = generateCode(s);

     void main(){
         enum s = "int a = 2 + 3; int b = 4 + a;";
         mixin foo!s;
     }
