No previously chosen name that I know of, but I like your name.  Anyhow, 
I'm impressed/pleasantly surprised.  I didn't realize an IEDL could be 
executed at compile time to produce a mixin string.  If IEDLs are that 
universally useful, then they definitely deserve some special case 
performance optimizations, i.e. inlining and avoiding heap allocations. 
  Does anyone else have any interesting use cases for them?
