Hi,

I wonder why UCFS is not working for the MIXIN statement?

"writeln(\"Hello World!\");".mixin;

Error: identifier expected following '.', not 'mixin'

This would be some nice syntax sugar.

Kind regards

UFCS is a function feature, not a statement feature. And mixin is a statement, not a function.

I suspected s.th. like that, although it feels really component like programming if I could write:
funcA().mixin; // func A returns a const string

or also
immutable char[] texture = "file.b".import;

But yes you are right, they are statements and this would be no clean
UCFS syntax and also huge effort to change I think.

Kind regards
André

No, it's a max. 5 min parser hack.
