If you need only a name, you can just generate an alias:

mixin(q{ alias generatedName=staticName; });

Or forwarding:
mixin(q{ void generatedName(){ staticName(); } });

void staticName()
{
  //code here
}

It's possible that I might have thought of that... ;)

100% for this. There's a large chunk of code I can simplify by just defining things inline instead of having to provide extra workarounds like noted in all of the above posts.

Being able to arbitrarily override a symbol's identifier is going to have applications well outside of just this use case.

I'd actually prefer the syntax just to be mixin. Change the grammar so declaration names can be replaced with mixin(x) and the mixin must return an identifier as a string.

But regardless, yes, this would basically finish `static foreach` imo.

mixin would be fine in that context... but it might look a little bit weird?
