AFAIK, it's never worked to see any ddoc from string mixins. Certainly, I'm
quite sure that it didn't used to work, so if it does now, something changed
within the last couple of years.

The closest that I'm aware of is that putting /// on a template mixin works
so that you can do something like

class MyException : Exception
{
    ///
    mixin basicExceptionCtors;
}

and have the ddoc within the template mixin show up.
