Simple, it was never requested to be reached.
The correct code is:
auto arithmetic(string op, T, V)(T a, V b) {
return mixin("a" ~ op ~ "b");
}
arithmetic!("op")(1.5, 2.5);
D is not dynamic, if you need access to compile time features like
string mixin, you must pass them via the template parameters. You can't
use regular old variables to do this, as the code hasn't even been
generated yet.
