Is it possible to mixin function names? IE something like this:

template strFunc(string s){
	int mixin(s)(int a){
		return a+1;
	}
}

If not, is something like this being looked at?

Or, just something like this for any variable name.

Only if you mixin the entire function.

But what I like to do is to write the function with some internal name, then do `mixin("alias "~ new_name ~ " = your_internal_name;");` so it is available as new name but still written normally.

No.

The suggestion has been made, but there was no extensive discussion so far.

That's the DIP for static foreach. Is there a separate DIP for mixin identifiers?

Not yet.

:( I might look into making one, then. This feature would scratch a rather sizable itch.
