As I mentioned elsewhere, it does work. But the situation I think must 
be that it's only one mixin template. Probably also you can't have any 
overloads in the type itself.

Note that I also think string mixins would work perfectly fine. And UFCS 
will never work for operator overloads, but that is by design.
