Wow, this was an insightful idea from 2009! It has recently been re-discovered
in 2015:

https://github.com/dlang/DIPs/blob/master/DIPs/accepted/DIP1010.md#mixin-identifiers

I prefer the __identifier(ident) syntax than mixin(ident), it's less noisy as:

1. it doesn't get highlighted as a keyword.
2. it's clearer what kind of token is being introduced.
3. it doesn't refine the idea of mixin to more than just expressions/statements
(i.e. code, not an identifier).
