This is not allowed in current spec.

http://dlang.org/expression.html#MixinExpression

MixinExpression is an expression, not a type.

template Foo(T = mixin(getTypeName())) { }
                 ^
                 There should be a type.

And the text contents of the string must be compilable as a valid AssignExpression.

Oh hmm, I see... any chance that it might be allowed at some point? :D

Workaround(not tested):

template Foo(T = typeof(mixin(getTypeName()).init)) { }
