Well, yes, but not when you mix it in. It's a string mixin in this case,
not a template mixin.

Because it's just simple string operations using the entire
language/Phobos/whatever to get the code you want. And then, you mix it in.

With a string mixin, this gives:

http://dpaste.dzfl.pl/8fc32179

string genStruct(string stringname)
{
    return
    "struct " ~ stringname ~ "
    {
        //....
    }";
}

mixin(genStruct("s1"));
mixin(genStruct("s2"));

static assert(is(s1));
static assert(is(s2));

void main() {}
