That's true, but the code there is NOT a mixin template.

mixin templates are always used

mixin TemplateName;

or

mixin TemplateName!(Args);


There are no parenthesis around it for this construct.

If you find yourself writing code like that, it means your 
library is badly designed and you should fix it. There is never a 
need for that, if you can get the module if T, it means you 
*already have access to T* and can simply use it directly.
