No, it's working as intended: "If the name of a declaration in a 
mixin is the same as a declaration in the surrounding scope, the 
surrounding declaration overrides the mixin one" --

You can use `alias` to bring the two together:

struct FooBar {
   mixin Foo!int f;
   alias bar = f.bar;
   void bar(ulong d)() {}
}
