In this case, the simplest solution is to have your code
generator accept a string as its input, rather than a type.
For example:
```d
enum instantiate(string type, string expr) = type ~ "(" ~ expr
~ ")";
pragma(msg, instantiate!("RVector!(SEXPTYPE.REALSXP)", "x"));
```
Well the code needs to be responsive from parameter types `T`
generated from other code. I'm allowing the user to create
functions select those they wish to access in R by UDA
decorators in the D script which I then filter for and wrap the
necessary functions generating any type conversion code I need
at compile time to create functions callable in R.
I see. So, you need access to the type as a type in order to
reflect on it, but you also want it as a string in order to
generate code.
My guess is that you don't actually *need* to use string mixins
for most of this, but I can't say for sure without seeing a more
complete example.
