The mixin source isn't put into the binary. What you're seeing is the
executable code of the template that you instantiated. It's exactly as if you
wrote:

string foo() {
    return `void main() { writefln("hello world"); }`;
}

There's a possible optimisation: templates instantiated only in a compile-time
context don't need to be put into the binary. Unfortunately the linker isn't
smart enough to detect they are never used. This should be fixable, but it's
not actually a bug.
