Having runtime mixins in the default language would the downside 
that the D runtime would have to include a D interpreter. No 
thanks.

Note though, I said in the default language. Having a separate D 
interpreter that would be called as an external program would be 
different thing altogether. To some extent, you can already do 
that by feeding your runtime scripts to rdmd.
