Your case is an exception to the general rule, but I wanna point 
out to other people reading that stringof in mixins is actually 
*usually* a mistake and you are *usually* better off just using 
the TC etc names directly in the mixin string. stringof breaks 
with different scopes and even some symbol names/strings in a new 
parsing context.

The big exception is function names... and tbh I kinda prefer to 
give it an internal name and only mix in a public alias for it. 
But that depends on the situation (and oh i wish we could change 
the name more easily with an external trick or something, would 
make static foreach more useful too!)
