Mixin Expressions, can't evalutate string variable

[Andrej Mitrovic]

Actually I better report this, it might lead to unexpected behavior
otherwise. See, this will compile:

import std.stdio;

auto template_func(alias func, T...)(T args)
{
    return func.mangleof;
}

void test() {}

unittest
{
    writeln(template_func!(test, int)(1));
}

void main() { }


And this won't:

import std.stdio;

auto template_func(alias func, T...)(T args)
{
    return func.mangleof;
}

void test(int x) {}

unittest
{
    writeln(template_func!(test, int)(1));
}

void main() { }

(I've added a parameter to test()). The problem is the first code actually
called func, and succeeded silently since it takes no parameters. I don't
think this is an expected behavior?
