I understand your reasoning, but:

```
void main() {
    import std.stdio;

    uint TestVar = 5;

    string mxnWrite_Size_t(string VarName) {

       static if (typeof(mixin(VarName)).stringof == "uint") {

          return `write("` ~ VarName ~ `");`;
       } else {

          return `writeln("Apparently TestVar not a uint");`;	
	  }
    }

    mixin(mxnWrite_Size_t("TestVar"));
}
```
produced Error: variable `VarName` cannot be read at compile time
