yeah, the whole feature smells for me. the sole need of mixin
hack indicates that something is very wrong here. i never ever
needed that for normal D code. and now suddenly i have to
remember that some thing is a template, that it needs mixing it
to work properly, etc.
all this mess should be resolved in compiler by assigning
template *two* visibility scopes: one is template's "normal"
scope (so it can see symbols from it's originating module), and
second is it's "instantiation" scope. after all, this is exactly
what programmer is exepecting. current solution is not a solution
at all, it's a hacky workaround promoted to "official technique".
