That actually depends on context! The mixin statement needs 
statements, but the mixin expression takes expressions. Same 
mixin keyword, but if it is in the context of a statement it is a 
statement and in the context of an expression, it is an 
expression.

void main() {
	int payload;
         mixin("++payload;"); // statement, ; required
	int b = mixin("++payload"); // expression, ; would be wrong 
there and cause an error!
}
