Like this ?
	auto fac = delegate(int n) {
		if (n <= 1)
			return 1;
		return n * mixin(__FUNCTION__)(n - 1);
	};

Well, there are a few problems with this:
- it _is_ ugly
- some 'automatic' name should be generated internally (possibly 
it is in any case)
- it doesn't currently work

Possibly more streamlined approach would be:
thisFunc (or 'self', or whatever)
thisFunc.stringof istead of __FUNCTION__
