A better reason for this syntax is that is gives a name for ddoc to use for documentation. Unfortunately the members can't be documented though.

I haven't actually implemented it, it could do.

Actually, if we would already be doing partial tokenization, then I
would suspect it wouldn't be that hard to add support for extracting
documentation and putting them in the generated code for the mixin.
Also, to keep with standard D style, where the name of the type comes
before it's definition, perhaps the recommended syntax for the mixin
would be (provided it's currently possible):
mixin MyFlags = BitFlags!q{ A, B, C, D };

I suggested this in an earlier comment ;-) Do you want to file a bugzilla enhancement?

BTW commenting in bugzilla is probably better than here.
