Anonymous function scope issue?

[DLearner]

The two little demo scripts:

```
string mxnAdd()(string strName) {

    return `(typeof(` ~ strName ~ `) Pld) {

       import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc;

       struct Mst {
          typeof(` ~ strName ~ `) Pld;
          int I1;
       }
       Mst*    MstPtr;


       MstPtr = cast(Mst*)(malloc(Mst.sizeof));
       if (MstPtr is null) {
          return null;
       } else {
       }

       MstPtr.Pld    = Pld;
       MstPtr.I1 = 1;
       return &MstPtr.Pld;
    }(` ~ strName ~ `)`;
}


void main() {
// Compile-time.
// Establish simple variables:
    int  IntFld1;
    int  IntFld2;

// Define a structure:
    struct X {
       int  Fld1;
       int  Fld2;
    }

// Establish a structure variable:
    X    XVar;

// Establish a pointer to the structure:
    X*  XPtr;

// Execution-time.
// Load variables:
    IntFld1 = 3;
    IntFld2 = 4;

// Load the structure variable members:
    XVar.Fld1 = IntFld1;
    XVar.Fld2 = IntFld2;
// Now execute the command:
    XPtr = mixin(mxnAdd("XVar"));

// Now check the results:
    assert(XPtr !is null);  // Returned pointer non-null,
                            // so shows new datastructure added.
    assert(XPtr.Fld1 == 3); // Shows new datastructure holds 
original data item.
    assert(XPtr.Fld2 == 4); // Shows new datastructure holds 
original data item.
}


```

and


```
string mxnAdd()(string strName) {

    return `(typeof(` ~ strName ~ `) XVar) {

       import core.stdc.stdlib : malloc;

       struct Mst {
          typeof(` ~ strName ~ `) XVar;
          int I1;
       }
       Mst*    MstPtr;


       MstPtr = cast(Mst*)(malloc(Mst.sizeof));
       if (MstPtr is null) {
          return null;
       } else {
       }

       MstPtr.XVar    = XVar;
       MstPtr.I1 = 1;
       return &MstPtr.XVar;
    }(` ~ strName ~ `)`;
}


void main() {
// Compile-time.
// Establish simple variables:
    int  IntFld1;
    int  IntFld2;

// Define a structure:
    struct X {
       int  Fld1;
       int  Fld2;
    }

// Establish a structure variable:
    X    XVar;

// Establish a pointer to the structure:
    X*  XPtr;

// Execution-time.
// Load variables:
    IntFld1 = 3;
    IntFld2 = 4;

// Load the structure variable members:
    XVar.Fld1 = IntFld1;
    XVar.Fld2 = IntFld2;
// Now execute the command:
    XPtr = mixin(mxnAdd("XVar"));

// Now check the results:
    assert(XPtr !is null);  // Returned pointer non-null,
                            // so shows new datastructure added.
    assert(XPtr.Fld1 == 3); // Shows new datastructure holds 
original data item.
    assert(XPtr.Fld2 == 4); // Shows new datastructure holds 
original data item.
}


```

Are identical, except that, in the second demo, one variable name 
in the mixin function
was changed to be the same as a variable name in the main function
(it would obviously be dangerous to do this deliberately, but 
this happened by accident).

The first demo runs OK.

The second fails with a 'circular reference' error.

My question is simply why this is a problem at all - the scope of 
any names used in
the mixin function should surely not extend beyond that function, 
so no clash should arise?
