It is useful in several other contexts though, including user
overriding and private data stores for the mixin.
The easiest workaround is to use string mixins instead, which
work the way you'd expect them to.
But yeah. The other alternative is to alias them together:
class A {
mixin Whatever a; // need to give it a name here to reference
later
mixin Whatever b;
// explicitly merge overloads here
alias opBinary = a.opBinary;
alias opBinary = b.opBinary;
}
Or you can do a forwarder function yourself but that's getting
even more a hassle. Sometimes appropriate though.
