           Summary: Protection attributes of mixin instances are applied in
                    a wrong scope.

Protection attributes of mixin instances are applied in a wrong scope.
The following illustrates it:
---- baz.d ----
module baz;

template Baz() {
    private void privfunc(){ }
}
---- ----
import baz;

class Foo {
    mixin Baz!();  

    void testfunc() {
        privfunc(); // Error: .privfunc is private
    }
}
---- ----
For reference the spec states (http://www.digitalmars.com/d/mixin.html):
"Unlike a template instantiation, a template mixin's body is evaluated within
the scope where the mixin appears, not where the template declaration is
defined. It is analogous to cutting and pasting the body of the template into
the location of the mixin."
If the current compiler behavior is the intended behavior then fix the spec.
